 Grand View Hotel owner Gerald Brock (left) introduces Tom Hamilton-Foster, who launched the evening's festivities... If a picture is worth a thousand words, I better just zip up and allow you to look at these photographs from the Official Opening Night last Thursday at the Grand View Hotel in Cleveland of the Cartoons from the Bunker Exhibition. Gallery Owner Gerald Brock spoke of his (justified) pride in the Grand View Hotel being the first place in Queensland to ever host the Bald Archy Prize Exhibition (arranged with the assistance of artist-cartoonist Ed McMahon) and his wish to continue running exhibitions of this nature...  Tom Hamilton-Foster (left) and cartoonist Gary Clark, creator of "Swamp". There were about thirty people attending the Opening Night. Among those was Tom Hamilton-Foster, former Coffs Harbour Rotary Club Member who officially opened proceedings by giving a short talk on the Bunker's formation and his involvement in that, and cartoonist Gary 'Swamp' Clark who had driven down from Brisbane for the evening.
