Caxton crisis – no seminar this year

Campaign Brief hears from sources close to the Caxton committee that there will be no Caxton weekend seminar this year – only the awards, which CB understands will simply be announced online.
The Caxton weekend has been a popular get-together of the Australian creative community for almost 40 years, since it was started by Bryce Courtenay and others back in 1974.
The blow to the Caxtons comes just over two months after Mark Hollands (pictured) took over the CEO gig of The Newspaper Works from Tony Hale and a day after CB revealed that The Hallway’s Simon Lee had been named the new Caxton chairman.
More on this as details come to hand.

Why is this a crisis?

I just heard the 2013 fax machine sellers convention has been cancelled. Bang! Two days, two crises. When will this madness end.
