TAS E-NEWS the Children’S Book Council of Australia (Tasmanian Branch) Inc
TAS e-NEWS The Children’s Book Council of Australia (Tasmanian Branch) Inc. Issue 3: June 2013 Patron: Mrs Frances Underwood PO Box 113, Moonah, Tas, 7009 - email: [email protected] web: www.cbcatas.org – blog: http://cbcatas.blogspot.com/ Editor: Penny Garnsworthy From the President Welcome to the June newsletter! Our Tasmanian judge on the book of the year awards, Lyndon Riggall has decided that he cannot continue for the second year of his two year appointment. This is really sad as Lyndon fulfilled the role to perfection and as a young male certainly differed from the usual profile of judges. Lyndon made three presentations on the Short List and Notable Books around the state – Launceston, Hobart and Devonport. Those who attended were treated to one of the best presentations I have seen for a long time. It is sad not more attended but that is the way of the world or at I least tell myself it is. I admire the way Lyndon has conducted himself doing the almost overwhelming job of reading and judging so many books, and doing it so well. I am sure everyone will join with me in thanking him and wishing him well in the future. Lyndon’s resignation was not without some drama as the rules mean that any replacement can only judge for the remainder of the two year term. As the boxes of books are already arriving there was very little time to find a replacement. Member, Tehani Wessely, had been a West Australian judge and had to cut her term short because of her move to Tasmania.
