31st January saw the ACV/GARDS girls at  their  first Asbestos Awareness session for 2019 @Chisholm_Inst Berwick with 30+ apprentice Carpenters – great bunch of apprentices and terrific questions from the apprentices. We also had the experience of 3 hard working Trade teachers there to share their knowledge from their working life in the session – thanks for making us feel welcome everyone – it was truly an honor and privilege to meet so many up and coming tradies – look forward to another 250+ over the next few months.

ACV/GARDS on the move.. Gippsland Heritage Park Day Out & About

November 1, 2018 By Vicki Hamilton

30th October – the ACV/GARDS support group members had a wonderful day out at the Gippsland Folk Museum – Heritage Park in Moe. They had a tour of the park with a very lovely tour guide who arranged for a ride around the park in a vintage car, a silent movie with Charlie Chaplan in their movie theatre and a wonderful two course lunch in the restaurant – there was lots of laughter and much to talk about among friends. The weather was fantastic to top the day off. Pictured below are the group having a wonderful time.

10 year Carbon Capture Celebration at AGL Loy Yang 2018

October 26, 2018 By Vicki Hamilton

26.10.2018 – ACV/GARDS rep Vicki was at AGL Loy Yang Traralgon at the carbon capture pilot plant site to celebrate 10 years of research into carbon capture and storage – just another new technology being developed in Latrobe Valley – well done AGL, IHI & CSIRO – it was very interesting listening to how this technology works and to hear about other initiatives into carbon capture which are emerging along with technology like Hydrogen for energy use. Others who were in attendance and spoke were those who have been attending The 14th International conference on Greenhouse Gas Control Technologies, known as GHGT-14. The event, held every two years in a different country, is the main global forum to discuss the latest developments in CCS. The Melbourne Convention Centre has hosted the event from Monday the 22nd to 25 October 2018.- some of those from the conference came up by bus today to attend the 10 year celebrations at AGL Loy Yang. It was wonderful to meet so many people from other countries who are looking at ways to control greenhouse gases and take those ideas & projects into the future. Pictured below with Vicki are those attending the carbon capture pilot plant today.
