MILTON SHOW 2021
Because of the covid situation The Milton show will be on reduced format but at this stage attendance numbers and times may have to be controlled. However the Bush poetry event will still be held on Saturday, 6 March. This event has three competitions but the one that may concern some of your students is the 13 and under age group recital and it is important to note that there have been some changes to the
prize and entry conditions. Prize money has been increased by 300% and entrants will be able to enter up to and including the day of performances although it would be better if entries were submitted before the performance day.I can be contacted on 4455 2013 or e-mail jda76436@bigpond.net.au for entries or information.
