Judges/Guests/Volunteers
Our sincere thanks to our Judges Val McIntosh who took time out to judge this exhibition.
The Hervey Bay Art Society appreciates and feels bless to have Paul Rocchi take care of all our catering needs. A delightful spread of food was enjoyed by all.
Events like the annual members exhibition don’t just happen. Events take place because people work to make them happen. A big thank you to all the members of the Hervey Bay Art Society who volunteered to help run and organise the exhibition – especially Mark Brose, Jane Backhaus, Tom Nott, Jill Byrnes, Lorraine Romaior (and her amazing installation team) Josephine Baddeley just to name a few. Because of them the competition ran smoothly and the awards presentation and exhibition was a success.
