Your Convention Planning Committee has things well underway for the final year of our three conventions being held in Hobart. We are looking forward to returning to Wrest Point in May for a weekend of wonderful singing, competition, fun and friendship. This is the First Edition Convention Booklet; with the information we have available for you to plan for Convention 2020. The Second Edition will be available mid-April, after the Final Order of Appearance has been released. Registrations will open on Monday 27 January 2020 and once again, there will be a tiered pricing structure. Early Bird Registration closes Sunday March 8 2020 with registrations closing on Tuesday 31 March 2020. In line with the decision to hold Convention for three consecutive years in Hobart to provide for our members an optimum performance venue with a consistent acoustic environment, the tiered registration program has been designed to offset the cost of travel for our members whose costs to attend are higher because of where they live. Entry to Afterglow is included in your registration. When you register you will have the option to purchase a dinner box which you will be able to collect after the Parade of Champions. We will also have areas available where you will be able to store your things if you are staying offsite and would like to stay at Wrest Point between the end of competition and Afterglow. Following the sterling effort of Traci Voss and her team of co-presenters hosting the webcast in 2019, Traci will once more host and coordinate the webcast team to bring you all the action from Hobart if you aren’t able to make it. We will also be webcasting the educational Master Class being presented on Sunday morning. The Annual General Meeting will take place on Sunday morning. On the Thursday night before competition, we will be hosting an exciting community singing event in the city. We would encourage you to travel down in time to participate if possible. It will be a chance for a big sing, at this free public event, with a chance to learn a great song by one of favourite regional arrangers. Stay tuned for more details. As you can see, we have a lot going on in Hobart for Convention 2020. Sign up to volunteer for a shift or two when you register. It’s a great way to make new friends, see what goes on behind the scenes and do your bit to help out. We would like to thank all those involved in the planning and organising of Convention 2020, which is shaping up as another fabulous Region 34 event. Kind regards, Linda Britts (Chair of Regional Convention), Chris Jones (Competition Coordinator) & Teena Caithness (Events Coordinator) Page | 5 COMPETITION CHECKLIST HAVE YOU TICKED OFF THE LIST? □ Contestants in both the Quartet and Chorus competitions should use the Competition Resources published by Sweet Adelines International available here and the Competition Handbook available here □ The paperwork for new and renewing quartets must be submitted and processed before they may register with International for Competition.

  • Hobart, on Friday, 15 October 2010
    THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL SELECT COMMITTEE ON VIOLENCE IN THE COMMUNITY MET IN COMMITTEE ROOM 2, PARLIAMENT HOUSE, HOBART, ON FRIDAY, 15 OCTOBER 2010. Professor ROB WHITE, UNIVERSITY OF TASMANIA, WAS CALLED, MADE THE STATUTORY DECLARATION AND WAS EXAMINED. CHAIR (Mr Wilkinson) - Thanks, Rob, for coming along. As you know, the terms of reference revolve around violence in the community. We thought you could be of great assistance in letting us know your views in accordance with the terms of reference. Prof. WHITE - I am very pleased to have been invited to talk with you. I have been away a bit, which is why I have been delayed in having an opportunity to speak with you. I have included some background documents, which I would like to submit to the committee. I will briefly describe them and I will talk about what I think some of the key issues are. The first page is a brief summary that provides a snapshot of how I feel about violence in the community. I will come back and describe a bit about that in a moment. Basically I did it as an editorial for a youth online discussion group relating to violence in the community. The second item is a reproduction of an article on violence in the Mall that I penned called, 'Respect is a two-way street', that tries to put a context in terms of what kind of responses we should be having to questions of violence. The third submission is much more substantial. It is called 'Alcohol and Interpersonal Violence: A Discussion Paper'.
