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.
