Presidents Report for December Happy festive Season to all our members and your Families. The 2014 Annual Summer Show Case at L.U.S.Club has been successful at this stage. We had a good attendance at the opening night and all work was judged and as usual Niomi Sands gave a good presentation on her decisions for those who were successful in receiving prizes , so congratulations to you all . I won’t list the names as Rita Carosi will give a full report following the end of the exhibit on the 4th of January ,other than to report that once again Vanessa Newel won the open section for the second time. While the open section prize and some other sections were sponsored, most of the prize money came from members’ contribution. This is our ninth exhibition at the L .U .S. Club The Gallery is still going well with a lot of visitors over the holidays. A number of members have kept it open through this period so thank you for doing that. Don’t forget the changeover is on the 20th of January 2015. Happy new year. Brian Barker
