The quality of entries and effort by clubs and organisations also ensure this level of success and we look forward to viewing their presentations next month”.

We look forward to a variety of entries and a display of local talent and artistic endeavour in their efforts to showcase their own ideas and achievements, while reflecting their interpretation of our youth and our hope for the future”.
