Curious as to why its not held over Saturday/Sunday? I'm interstate and would've loved to drive over Saturday after work and come Sunday.

Yeah bit weird to do a Friday/ Saturday. I'm in Melbourne but it's other side of the city. Might have been able to do something on Sunday but it's already over by then.

I'd be curious what the logic is with a Friday night/ Saturday day.

Not answering for them, but Redlands has their exhibition on a single day also, because there is so much more organisation to be done for a two day exhibition. It's hard enough to get vollies for a single day, (plus set up the day before,) plus the people who are exhibiting and have to travel a fair way only need pay for one night's accommodation.

Well worth the trip over on Saturday if you're free. Exhibition display was excellent.
Good Friday night turnout. Nice to see a Club trying a different planning approach.
Great selection of pots also by Rod Vert, Underwood Stoneware.
There's a number of Australian Potters out there now. From what I saw tonight, Rod is up there with the best with his work.

I was super keen to get out to this, bummed I missed it. I'm looking to join VNBC in the near future, would have done it earlier but I'd rather pay for a full year.
