It is with
great regret that the Port Hacking Potters Group announces the cancellation of
the proposed 2021 National Pottery Competition which was to have been held at
the Hazelhurst Arts Centre, Broadhurst Gallery in Gymea in August.

might re-open from the current Covid restrictions in Sydney.
We would
like to thank our sponsors for their willingness to support us in these uncertain
times and apologize to them for needing to take this decision. We thank the
Hazelhurst Arts Centre for their support in working through this decision.
