Ideas Please
Your committee will be meeting again shortly to discuss next years program. Your suggestions for competition subjects will be appreciated. Please bear in mind that we do have three subjects that cannot be changed as they are 'trophy' subjects, those being, Nature, Australian Landscape and Creative. If you have any ideas for presentations or thoughts in general, please let either Peter or myself know.
