The Expressions has had several superb exhibitions, most recently the "Where Children Sleep" and the National Ceramics Finalists, and before that exhibitions of The Photography of Lloyd Homer; Rugby and WW1; The Mona Lisa Story; and the NASA Space photographs.

Speakers
Sep 24, 2018
John Grigg, District Youth Protection Liaison
Police Vetting

John is going to give an explanation about the vetting.  It will be hands-on, as those who are going to be working with youth, need to be vetted and we will then fill in the forms.

NOTE: You will need to bring your Drivers Licence, or your current Passport, as well as a photocopy of it.  To be safe, also bring a copy of a document with your current residential address, e.g. an electricity or rates bill.
