2026? AGM on 24th. February!
2025 RESULTS: Available here: 2025 Results And Awards Congratulations to our $500.00 Eisteddfod Scholarship Winner: Shayarna Ellis-Dowler from Ambitions Performance Dancers.
Meeting on 9th. December This has been held and we were able to wind up 2025, whilst tabling a documented Constitution and some Polices that will be important to the operation of the Eisteddfod going forward. We recommended to a new Committee that they introduce ‘Own Choreography’ sections in U12 and O12. These will be special sections not contributing to Aggregates. A number of our ‘Entertainment Item’ entrants on the final night of 2025 presented an Own Choreography as this option did not appear in the regular program. We recommended that this be made part of the main program in the future. We voted to continue our $2,000 donations to the Breast Cancer Network over and above what was collected ($206.40) in the foyer. Happily, we were again able to access a ‘Creative Victoria’ grant to assist with our ‘bottom line’ of about $5,000, due to be paid before the end of December. Mathematically, our 2025 event saw a slight loss of about $4,000 after receiving the Creative Victoria grant. This may impact upon entry prices, etc. for the new Committee to consider. We have reserves on Term Deposit.

Annual General Meeting for 2026 This will be the most important meeting in making the decision as to whether a 2026 event goes ahead. We have proposed this to be on Tuesday, 24th. February, 2026 at 17 Halcyon Way, Narre Warren South. This will provide sufficient time for a new Committee to plan a new/the next event for October. A new Committee may propose something different. Please contact Garry via email or 0433 933 679 to RSVP for the AGM so he can buy an extra packet of biscuits to go with the coffee/tea.
