ABC Friends Northern Rivers ran a market stall in Ballina on Sunday 18th October, offering information about ABC Friends.

Jennie Hicks, Secretary and Peter Dickson, President of the Northern Rivers Branch running their market stall at the Sunday Ballina market.

They encouraged people to sign a petition to their Federal Member of Parliament, urging them to support an independent and properly funded ABC. Ballina Market is a small, friendly country affair, so Peter and Jennie were pleased to get more than 30 signatures to both the MPs (Justine Elliot, ALP and Kevin Hogan, National).

Following the NSW & ACT AGM on 24th October, Jennie was elected to the State Committee, bringing a regional perspective to our strategies.
