The full festival report and the performance results from Camooweal are in Events and Results on the ABPA website.

Great news from Camooweal. Deena Smith who lives near the Gold Coast (south of Brisbane), entered the performance competition with an original poem which showed that we have another good writer emerging -- the great news is that Deena is a lot younger than many of us. We will communicate with Deena privately to encourage her to join the ABPA.
