- This morning Ms Anna Reece the Artistic Director of the 2026 Perth Festival was meant to speak to us but unfortunately she did not arrive.
So, our own member Ant Ulijn stepped up and presented a very professional slide show on his thoughts on how to target new members in the 40 to 50 year old age group. It was a great presentation which was enjoyed & well received by all who attended. Ant will email his presentation to all members.
