17.01.2022 Show Society Recruiting Volunteers and Planning for 2020 Have you started decking the halls in anticipation of the holidays ahead? The festive season is coming quickly upon us, and it’s a wonderful time to reflect on 2019 and start considering your new year’s resolutions. Planning is already underway for the next Bellingen Show in May at the showground here in town - a lovely way to get involved and bring our diverse community together. A number of new volunteers have alread...y climbed on board. Joining those in the photograph above are Rowan Butler, Lydia Bezeruk, Janine Harkness, Patrick Post and Graeme Ross. Lani Carmody, the new Sponsorship Coordinator for the Bellingen Show, is happy to have the time to volunteer now she’s retired. Lani says she’s devoting her time and energy to the show because it’s a hugely important community event for the families and farmers in the Bellingen Shire. We have a wonderful mix of new talent and experienced staff on hand all eagerly looking forward to arranging this event, Show Society President Gillian Anderson said. With the show planners still in need of help in a few areas, this is also a wonderful opportunity to help out: whether you’re a lifelong resident of the shire, or like this writer, new to the area, participating in this annual event is a way to donate your skills and experience while getting to know your neighbours. The Show highlights the talents of our community across many varied fields, from needlework to crochet, photography and fine arts, and jams and preserve making. It also includes competition in several categories for farmers and their livestock including cattle and poultry. None of this could happen, from the scheduling to the entry submission through to the judging, without the hard work of data entry volunteers. With that in mind, Deborah Kent is newly lending a hand this year doing data entry, after helping out in a more ad hoc manner in the past. She’s enjoyed the show and wants to do her part - perhaps you could join her and pitch in, too? Positions still to be filled for the upcoming show are: Leaders for: Photography, Partner Carrying Competition, Young Farmers Challenge, Attractions, and Information Booth Support persons for: Grants Officer, Minor Sponsorship and Advertiser, and Entertainment Safety officer & support person for WH&S Data entry people over the week of the show Site manager support people over the week of the show You can get involved with this fabulous community event by joining us at our next planning meeting on Friday, the 22nd of November at 4:30pm. We’ll be gathering in the Luncheon Pavilion at the Bellingen Showgrounds, located on the corner of Black and Hammond Street. Hope to see you there!

17.01.2022 A SILVER LINING They say every cloud has a silver lining and the clients of the Bellingen Neighbourhood Centre found a silver lining in the Corona virus cloud, compliments of the Bellingen Show Society. The recent cancellation of the 2020 Bellingen Show left the Show Society with some administrative and organisational challenges, including what to do with the meals already prepared for the show day luncheons. This food is currently in cold storage and includes enough cooked f...ood for over 180 lunches, almost 800 scones prepared for the popular Devonshire teas, packs of frozen peas and other ingredients. All this food was prepared by the wonderful Linda Hillman, chef and coordinator of the show day luncheon pavilion and her dedicated team - just like she has for the past 14 years. Linda and her team set to work earlier this year because she was to have knee replacement surgery and knew she would be out of action in the lead up to the show. After consideration of this matter, the Show Committee unanimously agreed to donate the food to the Bellingen Neighbourhood Centre for distribution through their Bowl of Plenty Program. Kerry Child, President of the Bellingen Neighbourhood Centre said that it was a wonderful gesture by Show Society. May Smith, Coordinator of the Bowl of Plenty welcomed the donation and said that it would be a great contribution to their community meals program and their daily frozen take away food distribution. We are pleased to report that Linda is recuperating well at home. See more

10.01.2022 All Go At the Show For 2020 The 2020 Bellingen Show may be a way off but it’s all go at Show HQ where planning for next year’s Show is in full swing. Following her election as President of the Show Society, Gillian Anderson has taken the lead in setting up an organisational structure to ensure the viability of Bellingen’s most popular and longest running event Gillian explained that to commence this process she called for a full appraisal of the personnel needs of all the Sho...w sections from Section Coordinators. Gillian added that after documenting those who were continuing to be involved in the organisation of the show, we set about identifying gaps in our personnel structure. Gillian then put out a call through local and social media for anyone who might be interested in being part of organising to help fill the gaps and thereby help balance the heavy work load of staging the Show and bringing back the fun. The response was most pleasing she said, especially when twenty-one people turned up to our first of two planning meetings earlier this month. The planning meeting was facilitated by Kerry Pearse from KEMJ Pty Ltd who explained the format of the session and took the group through the Show’s operational structure, a summary of which was displayed around the walls on sheets of butcher’s paper. After this discussion, participants were invited to peruse the existing organisational format, discuss matters relating to key areas and to consider gaps’ they might be interested in filling. At the end of the meeting Gillian and Kerry were pleased to note that most gaps had a name inscribed on them and the Show’s operational structure had gained in strength However there is always more to do and more people required to do it. Before our next planning meeting on 22nd November we will be posting information on media, notice boards and libraries, displaying where the gaps are in our organisational structure. If you are interested in any of these positions, or know anyone who might be, please come to our next planning meeting to be held on Friday 22 November at 4;30 pm in the Luncheon Pavilion at the Showground. You will be most welcome. For further information, contact Show Society President, Gillian Anderson on 0419 124368 or Mary Ann Perry, Society Secretary, on 0498 483915 See more
