Post by manfredvijars » Thu Apr 21, 2011 7:52 am

We held a meeting of VBPMA reps at Corryong and have made a modest start organising the Vic Bush Poetry & Music Championships at Benalla Bowls Club to be held 14 - 16th October.
If anyone would like to assist in any way .... admin before, during and after, available to help on that weekend, donations/sponsorships etc please let me know.
Colin Carrington is working on IGA partnership where we purchase a substantial raffle prize & they donate 'extras'. Thanks Colin.
