ORTHOPTISTS' BIZARRE BRA COMPETITION
Be Bizarre Bra creative in the creative centre of New Zealand! Design your most creative bra and bring it along to the Nelson Meeting. This is just a bit of fun in the sun.
Open to Orthoptists' only.
Please email Jo Kennaway by email by 14 April of your intentions to enter a Bra in the competition - it will give Jo a chance to sort out mannequins for display purposes, and it's only worthwhile if we get a few entries so come on - unleash your creative side and have a bit of fun!
Jo suggests that you think of a suitable name for your creation, they will be displayed anonymously, and delegates will vote on the one they feel is the most creative!
A prize will be awarded at the Orthoptists' AGM on the Saturday.
