The Annual Competition and Christmas Barbeque are being held at the December Triton Club meeting on WEDNESDAY 2nd December at Duffy Scout Hall. Please note that the BBQ will commence at 6:00 pm. The BBQ will be pay as you go affair with prices set to recover costs only.
If you have a competition entry, please have it fully set up by no later than 6:30 pm to facilitate timely judging. This means you will have to have lodged your entry form(s) with the Competition Convener well before that 6:30 deadline in order to allow the Competition Convener to allocate an entry number for each of your entries.
In this regard, please remember, a separate entry form is to be lodged with each piece entered in the competition so members will need to print as many copies of the entry form as the number of entries they propose to lodge on the evening.
Entries have to have been made in the past two years, and cannot have been previously entered. This competition is only open to financial members.
We have four categories this year – Toys, General Woodwork, Workshop, and a Maiden category for members entering for the first time. So if this is your first entry you can choose Maiden or one of the other relevant categories.
