everyone, Planning is well underway our first of three conventions in Hobart, 2018.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 of the Convention Booklet, with the information we have available for you to plan for Convention. The Second Edition will be available mid-April, after the Final Order of Appearance has been released. You can access this booklet, along with the forms you need for the competition, at www.sweetadelines.org.au/convention. Accommodation should be booked by now. Please be aware that rooms will be available at Wrest Point one month prior to our Convention, when pre-booked rooms not being utilised are required to be released. Registrations will open on Saturday 27 January 2018. There will be tiered registrations – this will be based on flight costs for registrants. please see the Registration fees below – page 17. Early Bird Registration closes Friday March 9 2018; Registrations close on Friday 6 April 2018. Entry to Afterglow is included in your registration. It will be held downstairs in the Wellington Room at Wrest Point. Our theme this year is a ‘Harmony HoeDown’ – so be ready for some barn dancing!! Further details for this will be in the next bulletin. Remember if you wish to purchase a Convention Transfer, you must do this when you register for Convention. The transfers will be sent to your chorus before Convention so you can apply as you wish. There will not be any available for sale in Hobart. I also encourage you to purchase your souvenir pin when you register, as there will be a very limited number for sale during, and after, Convention. Sign up to volunteer for a shift or two when you register too. It’s a great way to make new friends, see what goes on behind the scenes and do your bit to help out. We send you a questionnaire to fill in so we match you to a job which suits you best. For the first time this year we are going to have Webcast commentary – anchored by Kate Hawkins. She will have co-hosts on both competition days and I know she will love quartets and chorus reps to drop by before (or after) you have performed – more details soon! Another first is for Quartet members. Have you ever yearned to sing in two quartets? Well now you can!! REGIONAL QUARTET COMPETITOR UPDATE With the inception of Open Division at the regional level in 2014, members have been exploring new and exciting ways to participate in their regional contest. As a result of many requests from competitors, the Judge Specialists and the Education Direction Committee 5 have developed a new policy allowing members to fulfil their desire to compete in more than one quartet! The policy states that: “A member may now compete in up to two different quartets during the same regional contest, as long as they are in different 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'.
