HELLO TO OUR WORLDWIDE WEB GIANT PUMPKIN FRIENDS

As you might know the Australian Giant Pumpkin & Vegetable Society Inc (a
non-profit group) was formed in 1996 by a group of Australian Giant Pumpkin
Enthusiasts, consisting of long-time competitors, State and Australian
Champions, primarily to reduce competition costs (the rate of exchange is a
prohibiting factor when dealing with overseas groups, making costs one
third to one half more expensive than our overseas counterparts, depending
on the Australian Dollar) and hopefully create more competition and further
the interest of giant pumpkin growing in Australia.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of those people and
groups who have offered encouragement and support and look forward to
further liaison between individuals and groups in the future.

The Society is not affiliated with any other weighing group, but we plan to
run our competitions to the high standard of competition, which is run in
different competitions overseas and in Australia in the past.

As the Society is in its early infancy, 1997 will see two weighing sites in
Australia, so it will be a new experience for many involved, one we are all
looking forward to greatly.  The 1998 season is already being planned with
new sites already well and truly in the pipeline.

If you would like to join the AGPVS, learn more about us or just chat with
us, please contact Wendy Stayner (Secretary) on fax 61 3 9786 0337 or Paul
Latham (President) on fax 61 3 9776 7173 or E-Mail latham@rie.net.au

Yours in Giant Pumpkin Growing,    Wendy Stayner
