A&S Championship
What is Happening? The Principality Arts and Sciences Championship draws close!
What is an A&S Champion? The Champion is an inspiration and role model to others. You make, do and know things that make our Society 'more' than it was without them.
You will represent the Principality through leadership and example. The Champion has a public presence in promoting the arts and sciences. This includes setting up a major Display or contest during your one year tenure.
The Champion will show a breadth of skills and will be ready and able to judge, teach and guide with gentleness and compassion.
The Champion will play a major Ceremonial role in putting on the next year's contest to choose his or her successor. This includes promoting the contest, recruiting contestants and judging.
When and Where is it? The competition will be held at November Investiture- Nov 16-18, 2007, in the most friendly Shire of Shittemwoode.
Most of the activities will take place on the Saturday.
