The weekend wrapped up last night with an outstanding display of physie precision and expressive dance performance. The Harald Bjelke-Petersen Cup (first presented in 1948) was awarded for overall best Open Senior team to Mt Ousley and the Robert Rae Turner cup (for the runners up) to the Figtree club. Both winning teams are from the Wollongong zone which somehow seems to produce more senior champions per capita than any other area of Australia!
BJP’s new photographer, Winkipop Media, was snapping away all weekend with action shots on the competition floor as well as portrait photos. So if you competed on the weekend check out the gallery at www.winkipopmedia.photostockplus.com/ which should all be posted over the next few days.
Also, if you want to order old physie photos going back to 2006, go to www.grundigphotography.com.au and make a note of the reference numbers of any photos you want to order. These should be available for order soon but you will need to know the photo number to be able to order. The Grundig website will close in a month so visit now and write down your numbers.
Finally, here are some video clips from the Open Senior presentations…
