This week a big shout out to all the people who make the competitions run…. you know who you are and we want to say THANKS!  You help provide a wonderful experience for our competitors – a chance to shine in front of an audience, to learn that winning and losing are both okay, to compete alongside their friends and cheer for them and to be a part of something much bigger than themselves.  So thank you to…

– the dads on the BBQ
– the ladies in the canteen
– the mums who did the girls hair
– the lady on the registration desk
– the helpers who put out all the chairs
– the teachers who arrived at 7am to set up the hall
– the judges who volunteered
– the audience who supported
– the mums, dads, grandparents, brothers and sisters who came along
– the club members who cheered
– the papparazzi who captured the moment
– the person who played the music
– the friends that encouraged and motivated the performers
– the parents who baked and contributed
– the teachers who called the heats, semis and finals
– and lucky last… the people who cleaned up after it was all over.

If we’ve forgotten you well…. thanks to you too!
