election which saw the emergence of members heading new positions was conducted

the National Film Institute had earlier given the Association a written permit
to make do with her premises for readings, the venue was changed due to
accessibility reasons. Before the elections commenced, the house enjoyed
readings from works of poetry and prose and bantered on their subject matters
and social significance.
