The event was cancelled in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but organisers say next year is a go.

However, things are going to look slightly different for a number of reasons.

The Leeton Eisteddfod won't be held as its usual home of the Roxy Theatre.

Why?

The theatre's redevelopment will be taking place while the month-long event is held.

However, plans are in place already for several of the sections to be moved to other venues around town, such as speech and drama at Madonna Place and dance possibly at the Mia Club.

The music discipline is proving more difficult to move, but organisers are confident they will find a solution soon that will cater for the large school choirs and groups.

The committee behind the event recently held its annual general meeting, but just five attended.

However, while eight people were apologies, those present decided to postpone the AGM unitl February in the hope more will be available to attend.

Mrs Nolan will continue on as president, but other vacancies will need filling.

"The more people we have put their hand up, the easier it can be for everyone," she said.

"It's not the 'big roles' as such and there will always be help for people who take on positions such as convenors.

"The eisteddfod is one of the longest-running events in Leeton, so we need to keep it going into the future."

Anyone interested in helping out the committee can contact Mrs Nolan for more information.

In the meantime, the show must go on for 2021.

"Having missed this year because of the pandemic, everyone is excited for 2021, hopefully it's a much better year for everyone," Mrs Nolan said.
