The Derwent Golden Ag Centre is a community gathering space in the hamlet of Derwent, one of a small handful of buildings that keep local groups meeting through the year. In a hamlet this size, a hall like this one often ends up hosting whatever the community needs that week, from a seniors’ get-together to a family event, alongside the hamlet’s arena and the Ag Society hall down the road.
MCSnet sponsors the Wi-Fi connection at the centre as part of its community partnership program, giving everyone who uses the building a free way to get online. The same network name and password work at MCSnet’s other Derwent hotspots, the Derwent Arena and the Derwent and District Ag Society, so a phone that connects at one location will reconnect automatically at the others.
Use these steps to connect at Derwent Golden Ag Centre. The network name and password are the same at every MCSnet sponsored hotspot.
No MCSnet home internet subscription is needed. Access to the building follows the venue’s opening hours and visitor policies.

Small hamlets like Derwent often have thin cell coverage, and a free Wi-Fi connection at a community hall like this one means the people who rely on it most, including seniors who may not have a data plan, can stay in touch without extra cost.
