Events Competition

 You may recall we wrote to you earlier this month regarding our forthcoming events competition, asking for volunteers to join our judging panel. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who responded. It would be fantastic if everyone could be involved, but regrettably the logistics would be impossible, so after carefully reviewing the responses, on a first come basis, the following volunteer members, have been asked to act as judges on behalf of the membership: Rhidian Jones, Jayn Lee Miller, Anthony Moss, Robin Howard and John Lunn.  

John Lunn will represent members of The SaVVy Club^® on the Final Judging Panel. 

Further details about the competition can be found on The SaVVy Club^® members web site.

Wow, there is so much to look forward to and 2008 looks set to be yet another extraordinary year for The SaVVy Club^®!
