OPAL ASSOCIATION MEETING
23 MAY AT 1 PM AT 25 SURFERS AV
MERMAID WATERS QLD
0407577545
AGENDA
-Decision on King opals membership.
-OJDAA sponsorship-two years ago we donated 1500$ should we continue as it’s the International jewellery competition at the Lightning Ridge show on 27 July. This show benefits all members of the opal association.
-Should we use the term semi black or dark opal ?
– Discussion on the new opal nomenclature.
-We are still waiting for a reply from the trade minister in regards to synthetic opals bring sold to the inbound Chinese market and protecting our industry. Should we consider approaching a tv station.? The ABC did there own research some years ago saying how synthetic opals affects the opal industry but I feel the situation is much worse now due to the high secret commissions..
OPAL CIRCUIT IN TUCSON
There has been a huge response to placing a double page add in the Tucson show guide with a circuit of where members -type of opal -parking ect. Some members have said they will also advertise there own adds as well as the circuit. Can you please notify us if you wish to do so as if we book 3 pages we can be closer to the front of the book which is a huge advantage.
OPAL CIRCUIT IN AUSTRALIA
We received a large reply to our news feed on the up coming opal shows but many magazines asked for some advertising-I think we should re do it next year and consider some advertising.
CONFERNCE CALL
To those members who cant make it we should try a conference call-please register before hand.
Regards Paul Sedawie
President
