PRESIDENTS REPORT 2013

Welcome to 2013, complements of the season to all and hope you had a great relaxing Christmas with friends and family.

During 2012 our club had another busy and successful year, thanks to our committee, members and helpers. A big thanks must go to our local papers the QT, Advertiser and Ipswich News and the wonderful people behind the scenes that help and support our club. Many thanks also to our City Councillors for there help and support, their support is playing a very large part in our five year plan in getting our club out and involved within our wider Ipswich Community. MANY THANKS TO ALL.

2013 will again be a busy and fun year for us all. We had our stand out at the Cameron Park market in January, however, due to the very hot day, it was a very poor turnout. Our Club, on the 18 October 2013, will be celebrating 40 years and is putting together a book on the clubs 40 year history.

This year we have 19 Club Fairs, 7 plus club visits to attend which goes north to Gladstone and south to Lismore. We also have the Queensland National and State Competition/Exhibit in September, a must for all clubs to attend, and/or help where possible. It will more than likely be a long time before Queenslanders will see another.

National competition.

This year I would like to see a concerted effort from all members to increase our membership both in the senior and junior clubs and the awareness that our club does exists in the wider community. All it takes is one OR MORE new members from each of our existing members or just talking about the club and your hobby.
