A few new faces, which is awesome. Welcome to Micro Co-ordinators Brett Giddings and Dave Hyslop, Girls Coordinator Rakesh Short and Emily Laurence in media and assisting juniors with competition entries. Michelle Morgan is Sponsorship Manager and Andrew Christiansen is helping Wazza as Head Judge.

Membership for 2023 is now open on Liveheats. Fees remain the same as they have since 2020 to help with current cost-of-living pressures.
