25.01.2022 CURRENT POSITION DAYLESFORD AGRICULTURAL SHOW 2020. At its June meeting the Daylesford and District Agricultural Society Committee decided that the decision to cancel or proceed with our annual show due on Saturday November 28th 2020 would have to be made by about the middle of July at the latest. As the health restrictions/protocols have already been altered since then we are not sure how the July meeting will proceed but a decision will be made by the evening of Wednesday July 8th and that decision will be announced on Thursday July 9th. Anybody wishing to contribute to this discussion may contact committee members , [email protected]; or comment below. Don Harvey, President.

22.01.2022 The Daylesford and District Agricultural Society is still hopeful of conducting its 148th annual show at Victoria Park Showgrounds in Daylesford on Saturday November 28th this year. This would be conditional however on being able to comply with all Covid 19 regulations and guidelines at national , state and local government levels, and the show being able to go ahead in much the same way as it has in the past. The decision to proceed or cancel this year's show involves ...our affiliation with the Victorian Agricultural Shows Ltd. Agricultural Shows Australia, The Showmen's Guild, the various animal breed societies, the local clubs and organisations that support us on the day each year and our hundreds of competitors. While still undecided your show committee will only conduct a show if it is safe and sensible to do so and we are also confident that we can present a show that reflects credit to the long history of our society We ask for your patience and understanding in these difficult times.

21.01.2022 DAYLESFORD SHOW CANCELLED The Daylesford and District Agricultural Society Committee wish to notify everybody involved with the Show in past years, and hoping to be involved again this year that due to the very difficult conditions in Victoria and Australia at the moment this year's show due on Saturday November 28th. has been cancelled. This has been a very difficult decision for everybody. We hope to keep working on the improvements in the Tom Ford pavilion and the poultry pavilion and maintain the preparations for our 148th annual show, now due on Saturday 27th November 2021. Don Harvey President

07.01.2022 Elements of sadness in not spending the next few days franticallyinvolved in this year's show, but very happy that James Browne Electrical have completed the lighting and power upgrades in the Tom Ford Pavilion. Our very own Western Region Poultry Club sponsored by Green Valley Grains will be conducting a provisional show, with photo entries only.

07.01.2022 Unfortunately at this stage the Royal Melbourne Show, the Royal Sydney and the Brisbane Eka scheduled for 2020 have all been cancelled. The 2020 Daylesford Agricultural Show is scheduled for Saturday November 28th 2020, with setting up and judging on Friday November 27th. The Daylesford and District Agricultural Society executive are determined to hold our show in as normal a manner as possible on those dates. At present we are proceeding with plans for this year's show on the basis that restrictions will be lifted with sufficient time for us to prepare our show. We have not had a face to face meeting of the society since March 4th, but will assemble very quickly if and when the current restrictions are lifted.
