It's ELECTION time again! We will continue to accept nominations
up until the last moment - so hurry and put in your bid. The meeting
will be Thursday April 18 at 8 pm sharp at the Maritime Museum.

Barbara has an exciting programme planned for us. "We will have
a Mack Exhibition this month. Bring with you to the meeting tuo (2)
exciting pots, preferably one of your own. Everybody will play juror.
We will have Sally Michener, Hiro Urakami, Madame von Hausmann, Kay
Dodd and Rose Naumann who will talk about pots they have chosen and
try to say why. We will discuss pots and what makes an exhibition,
and whatever else you want. Please make it a success - bring pots and
ideas."
