New Competition Year

Members, welcome to a new competition year.
For this next competition year the committee has produced Gold and Silver award cards, for those members who achieve either of these awards in each Aggregate Competition. Our Society uses the awarding of Gold and Silver for progression to higher grades.
Other clubs use similar cards to reward their members for Honour and Merit. Unfortunately, there will not be an award for Bronze recipients.
These cards will be presented at the following month’s Aggregate Competition night, for every award of Gold and Silver.
It is good to honour those members who achieve the highest awards.
Good luck to all in this new competition year.

PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION & THEATRE NIGHT SOCIAL

As you have been aware the club is doing an exhibition at the Toowoomba Repertory Theatre for the duration of the classic Neil Simon comedy “Plaza Suite” (14 – 28 July 2018).

Along with this as a fund-raiser for the club, we are hosting a night at the theatre on Monday 23 July 2018 where you, the members can enjoy the show as well as your friends.  The tickets are $25 each and these will be available for the forthcoming skills and club nights.

To make it easier for all if you can take a row or a number of seats to sell it will be good.  You can sell the tickets and return the money to the treasurer at the meeting nights.  We would like the money and the tickets returned by 22 June 2018 (skills night) so that we can sell any outstanding tickets.  The theatre only holds 100 people.

Supper will be served and we would also like makers and suppliers for this as well.  So  please give your names to the lovely people at the door or to the president or secretary if you are willing to assist.

This is a social night of fun and enjoyment for everyone.

Cheers,
The Committee
