Congratulations to all the new office-bearers, and also to those who are saddling up to go around once again. Looks like a great line-up!

Hi All

As outgoing Treasurer I offer my congratulations and very best wishes to the incoming Executive and wider Committee.

We live in challenging times for our genre of Aussie Bush Poetry, but I'm sure you will lead the charge in keeping our wonderful craft alive and well.

I urge all ABPA members to throw their support behind our hardworking volunteers.

A personal thanks also, to the members of the 2016 Executive and Committee for their support and commitment.

Cheers
Shelley
