Competition Updates - 9 Nov 26
thank you for your patience while the competition results were entered into the new show management system by three or four dedicated volunteers.
I can't thank the few volunteer committee members enough for their contribution of time and effort entering over 650 individual non-animal results to help finalise the nearly 900 overall classes of competitions in this year's Show. The temporary Hall arrangements eventually worked out and the Ag Society committee appreciates that the community embraced these arrangements in good spirit.
To see if you have won or placed in any class please visit the Competitions Results page and view the results for the classes you entered.
The prizes will be awarded at a special event at the Showgrounds Bush Verandah at 2pm on Sunday 15 November.
Cash prizes for children's classes that haven't already been collected will be available at this event. Adult cash prizes will be paid via EFT for those entries accompanied by account details. If you have won a cash prize and did not include your account details with your entries please email our Treasurer at treasurer@gidgeagsociety.com.au with your BSB and Account and the Class(es) in which you have received a prize.
Uncollected physical prizes will be retained by the Ag Society for collection via individual arrangements with the Chief Hall Steward until close of business Friday 19 December after which they will be unavailable.
The Ag Society committee thanks the community for embracing the new online entry system which worked very well overall. We're looking forward to a better experience next year in the renovated Hall and the now well-organised Animal Pavilion.
Thank you for your patience and understanding!
Gavin
Acting President
