2024 AGM Update

We reflected on our 60th year of the Hamilton Eisteddfod at our AGM this month.

Our 60th year proved an overwhelming success, with outstanding competition and delightful celebrations to mark our anniversary. The event continues to make progress following COVID disruptions, with increased competitor numbers and a positive outlook for the future.

Thank you to our Secretary, Denise and our Treasurer, Becky for their tireless work in securing the Hamilton Eisteddfod’s 60th anniversary event. I would also like to congratulate all our committee members for their commitment to all the jobs needed to run this event.

We also thank our many volunteers, sponsors, donors and advertisers whose help we depend on, as well as the continued support of Southern Grampians Shire, Hamilton Performing Arts Centre and Creative Victoria.

You can find out more about the 2024 competition and our 60th anniversary celebrations here: 2024 Eisteddfod Wrap-Up. We were pleased to welcome current and previous teachers and supporters to mark this occasion with us.
