The local (Bright) Rotary Club started in 1959, and Ron Sibley was one of the Charter Members. He became the Club's President a couple of times over the years - 1960/61, and 1987/88.
The bronze plaque on the Soundshell, placed by the Bright Rotary Club, reads:

It seems that Ron Sibley was in the Municipal Engineering Service of the local Shire in 1959 - page 4 (
