Downs and Ups….

What a couple of months! They said that there would be times like these…

First, if you’ve been keeping up with the changes on the website, you’ll have noticed a major change with the Gala Dinner. We’ve lost the Adelaide Oval as our venue. A long story, but the short version is that the venue was double-booked for our Saturday evening and, as the other group booked theirs first, we lost out. The good news is that we seem to have landed on our feet. After a week of looking at alternatives we’ve been able to secure the Adelaide Festival Centre, the jewel in the crown of the Adelaide Riverside Precinct.

We’ve also seen the departure of a key member of the convening team. Chris Pietrazek, the fleece show convenor, has had to stand down for health reasons. I’m sure everyone involved with the show will join us in wishing Chris a speedy recovery. In Chris’s place I’d like to welcome Isi Cameron. Isi is a very experienced member of fleece convening teams and will be a great asset to the show.
