Presidents report on 2002 National held
in Hobart
This years show once again proved to be a great success, and all praise
should go to our small band of hard workers, no stone was left unturned to
ensure those attending had a great time, either at the show or on the
pre-arranged tours.
The weekend kicked off with a three hour Harbour Cruise Cocktail Party on
the Friday night & this set the scene for the whole weekend.
The venue proved to be a great success with all those attending; many
were left awe struck at the fantastic facilities & water views.
Congratulations to Victoria once again on winning, they had a tight
tussle with the other two heavyweights NSW & SQLD. The big improver this
year was WA with four first placings, plus a first in the Crest
demonstration class.
