Great news this week. Hervey Bay City Council have given the SiQP Festival 2007 $20 000 to assist in a tour of Macbeth and Sonnets at Breakfast to Hervey Bay after we come down here. Two days later I got news that the QERDP application for $25 000 from the state government had been successful at $22 500. Some weeks have it all!
Moving ahead gradually with planning; all paper at the moment, but at least we’re organised. Have had several meetings with a potential tourism and marketing officer who will be ready to commence on July 31. The job will be to prepare a marketing plan to extend SiQP’s market share beyond the local region.
