The Gulgong Prince of Wales Eisteddfod concluded with the Gala Concert held Friday 26th May 2017. The concert is an opportunity to enjoy some of the highlights of the 37th Prince of Wales Eisteddfod. The Eisteddfod runs over the month of May each year and the Gala Concert features stand out performances from dance, speech and music.
The Concert was followed by The Roger Woodwood Play Off. Congratulations to Hannah Boland who was awarded the Audience Choice Award and Lara Stubbs the Winner of The Roger Woodward Award.
The Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank all those that help make the Eisteddfod happen. Over the month of May, the Eisteddfod showcased 3,868 performances across all three syllabuses of dance, speech and music enjoyed by close to 2,000 audience members.
Gulgong being a small community of around 2,000 people, it is exciting to learn that the Eisteddfod engages approximately 6,000 people when you take into consideration the performers, audience members and the volunteer team of 88 people. That’s an increase in over 1,000 people from 2016.
The Eisteddfod Committee would like thank the volunteers who work tirelessly to make it all happen and their many sponsors, with special mention their 2017 major sponsors, Moolarben Coal, Mid-Western Regional Council and Peabody Wilpinjong. It is through the generosity of the support of all our volunteers and sponsors that we can continue to provide local young people a positive forum to share their talents with our community!
Committee Member, Louise Butlin said, “The Committee wishes to also thank all the adjudicators, competitors, their parents, teachers and schools. Your dedication, commitment, interest and support of the Eisteddfod makes it the wonderful showcase of talent we were privileged to enjoy at our Eisteddfod in 2017.”
