Chairperson’s Message
Looking back across the Annual Artistic Landscape that is now behind us, our souls jump with joy for being granted another great opportunity to create a platform to participate. Our learners have once again been offered the chance to express their talents across a number of ARTISTIC and MUSICAL disciplines.
The mere fact that more than 4000 certificates were issued during the 2013 Eisteddfod season is evident that the Paarl Valley Eisteddfod has notably increased in volume since its inception on the 12th of March 1996.
Not only has the number of Entries for Paarl Valley Eisteddfod events increased substantially, but also the area from which affiliates are drawn. In so saying I extend a warm welcome to the learners from Vredendal High School who has traveled a long distance to participate here tonight.
As foreseen during 2012, the growth in the Singing section has indeed led to it being split into Junior and Senior in order to continue providing a high quality platform for participation. The new sections of Creative writing have also drawn some meaningful interest and are showing promise of good growth. The ART and National Dances sections have also grown dramatically. ART is fast becoming the next section calling for attention during the 2014 season.
We thank our dedicated conveners for strengthening the working hands of the Paarl Valley Eisteddfod. We salute our dedicated conveners for their utmost devotion of countless hours in arranging their events. We thank the School Governing Bodies for supporting the work of the Paarl Valley Eisteddfod. Thank you to the zealous adjudicators for their critique and for selecting our deserving learners for tonight’s Prestige Awards! We thank our learners and their parents for helping to ensure the continuance of the PVE through participating each year when the platforms for talent expression are raised by the PVE .
Much effort is still required in order to create possibilities for further participation for the top performers here tonight and the ones that are following in their footsteps. We call upon those with passion for the ARTS to help rekindle the fire that stirred the founder members of the Paarl Valley Eisteddfod and the ones who’s memory we still cherish to this day.
To the Learners here to my left who came to receive the Special Awards for themselves and for those in their groups a Special word of congratulations! Thank you for taking the opportunity to test and increase your talents through taking part in the events. The Board of PVE has approved of your exceptional talent and wish that you take our good wishes and greetings back to your schools and institutions of talent.
We thank the Drakenstein Municipality for once again making the plant decorations available for this occasion and W Heuer Musikhaus for tuning the pianos for today's performances.
The Board of Directors of the Paarl Valley Eisteddfod and conveners, extend joyful greetings to the distinguished guests and performers!
Art wishes!
Abie Martin.

Our honorary membership award is dedicated to the Noord-Eind Primary school. We bring recognition to this deserving institution not only as a founder member of the PVE, but we also for its exceptional and continued support towards the Eisteddfod activities over many years.
