the easing of COVID-19 restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Chair Peter Verbakel said the group &#8211; which is open to all Justices of the Peace (JPs) and Commissioners for Declarations (Cdecs) &#8211; usually meets bimonthly at the Kingaroy RSL Club.<\/p>\n<p>It held its first COVID-safe meeting back at the club on Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>Peter said the regular get-togethers include professional development as well as a chance for JPs to swap experiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Monday night&#8217;s &#8220;welcome back&#8221; was also an opportunity for members to inspect the new pull-up banners and tablecloth which the group bought after receiving $350 from Member for Nanango&#8217;s Deb Frecklington\u2019s Local Hero Grants.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The banner and tablecloth will help to make the JP community service offered at Kingaroy Shoppingworld more visible.<\/p>\n<p>This service, which was suspended due to COVID-19, is now also back in action.<\/p>\n<p>The group had planned to host a training course for would-be Cdecs and JPs in June or July but that had to be postponed due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are now trying to get another one up towards the end of the year,&#8221; Peter said.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone who is interested in becoming a Cdec or a JP should contact Peter <strong><a href=\"mailto:southburnett@qja.com.au\">by email<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<figure
