Notice re Section 26C
It has come to the notice of a couple of competitors that the Willunga GEMBOREE schedule 2024 has the Section 26C to be sent to the Competition Committee by the 15 January 2024.

This is not the normal practice, and the Willunga GEMBOREE Competition Committee has made an allowance that these entries can be delivered to the GEMBOREE 2024 on the Thursday 28th March (between 1pm – 4pm) to arrive and be set up ready for judging by 5.00pm.

This section will be judged at show.

Could all the AFLACA Members contact any known enamellers in their association to let them know this concession is available to them. This saves the enamelled pieces from being sent to and from the judges.

Please ensure that the entry form show that the competitor will be delivery the section 26C entry at the show.
Your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards
Barbara Try AFLACA J & R Chairperson

The GEMBOREE 2024 committee sincerely apologises to everyone concerned for the inconvenience caused by a significant number of errors in the GEMBOREE booklet. Thank you to those who have identified and notified us of these errors.

Thank you to Carol van der Pennen for her work with GCS to correct these errors.

Please find below the full set of faceting diagrams. The errors occurred on the Standard Round Brilliant – Faceted Girdle; Standard Oblong Step Cut with cut corners; the Meridian Cut; and the Petunia.

We have investigated how these errors occurred in order to prevent a future occurrence like this.

Yours sincerely
