The Glebe Society owes its success to a number of small groups that look after the many and varied interests of the Society. Each group is run by a convenor and some have only one or two members while others have 5-10 members. Some just "get on with it" while others meet from time to time to consider various issues. The groups report to the Society's Management Committee through their convenors.

What the groups do
The following is a brief description of what each group does. If you would like to know more, contact the appropriate convenor. Names and phone numbers are listed in the back of each Bulletin.

Arts, culture and media
The main activity is organising the annual "Art and About" in Glebe. This involves other community groups, such as the Glebe Youth Service, and the City Council.

Bays and foreshores
This group led the campaign against the dry boat storage facility proposed for Rozelle Bay, and was closely involved in achieving the recently completed foreshore walk.

Blackwattle Cove Coalition (BCC)
BCC comprises representatives from the Glebe Society and the Glebe Chamber of Commerce as well as people from Ultimo and Pyrmont. It aims to promote the rejuvenation of the "no man's land" between Ultimo/Pyrmont and Glebe, and in particular ensure public access to Wentworth Park and the Blackwattle Cove foreshores.

Through traffic, pedestrian safety, and public transport (including light rail) are all of great importance to Glebe. Help put our case to the Council and State Government bureaucrats.

Website
You don't need to be a nerd to write for our website, but it would help if some computer literate members of the Society would join the current team which at present is hard-pressed trying to update the site
