GOULBURN EISTEDDFOD
As most of you students and parents know my husband and I have a real soft spot for Goulburn – it is where we got married! - And where my husband works.
A quick trip to the Goulburn Eisteddfod proved very successful. To the Eisteddfod Society we extend a big thank you for including dance in the syllabus again after a few years break.
Well done to all Show team members – particularly with the new contemporary – it was a good first- time effort.
