QCWA Annual Report 2018-2019

The Queensland Country Women’s Association • Annual Report 2018–2019

STATE PHOTOGRAPHY REPORT Jenny Whitsed

The bursary was awarded to Nikita Campman from Mareeba who is studying to be a doctor and hopes to work in a rural area when qualified. This year the most popular sections have been landscape and plants; the least popular, QCWA buildings and the children’s sections. Unfortunately, many people failed to read the rules for the creative/manipulative section and ‘before’ photos were not included. Total entries for 2018–19 were 3,167. Thank-you to all who entered and made the competition a success! The 2020 schedule was approved at May Council. Thank-you to all committee members for your support and encouragement. Special thanks to former committee chairman Marjorie Shannen, for all the guidance and help. Her leadership and hard work as chairman was outstanding.

At the last conference, the committee of nine members was elected for two years with my- self as Chairman, Kris Cole as Vice-Chairman, Jan Peterson as Secretary, Katrina van den Brenk as Treasurer and members Diane Walsh, Gloria Wright, Lorraine Bishop, Marjorie Shannen and Rosemary Peterson. The photography display at Conference 2018, organised by then-chairman Marjorie Shannen, was excellent with raffles being popular. Thank-you to Killarney Co-Op for donating a camera and to members who donated raffle prizes. I attended the State Committees meeting in Brisbane in January and was impressed by the enthusiasm displayed by all. The State President’s suggestion that our committee purchase a laptop, printer and camera to make and print out photos at Conference is still being considered.
