” I am ecstatic that you have saved the flea house (the hall). Now my sweet memories will remain and every time I remember going to the pictures I will be so happy to think that this beloved building is still there.

Of far greater significance than my kiddy memories is the fact that it is the current community who have rallied to save this special place and for uses which we never dreamed of, that Merlynston is alive with good people, families with healthy agendas to combat the nasty cynicalism of our modern age.

I wish I was there to be part of the real togetherness of modern MERLO !1
Good on ya, from a far away Aussie.’

At mornings crack and see the progress of Progress Hall.
