1907 - A Library Establishment.
Mainly owing to the efforts of Mr E. W. Colls, of Cullengoral, a library of 100 books has been established at the Beryl Public School. Mr. Colls naturally has the sincere thanks of the teacher, Mr. P. H. Brophy, and the parents of the pupils attending the school.

1945 - P. and C. Association
The sub-committee, appointed at the last meeting to inquire into the possibility of holding swimming classes near Gulgong for the local children, reported that permission was available from the Cullengoral Dredging Co. to use the weir, and that Mr. Chick had stated that he may be able to make one of his trucks available to convey the children, to the swimming pool as desired, but he wouldn't be able to do it for less than £1/10/- (this was considered reasonable by those present).
Mr. Playford reported having made enquiries from Mr. Tomlinson regarding cost of dressing sheds and lavatory accommodation, and he thought that, with the possible help of the shire council, this matter might be carried out.
