“The bar is the social hub of the show,” secretary Jan Facey says, but this year the Show Society has been unable to find a group to run it.
All proceeds from the bar go to the group that runs it, the Show Society doesn’t want any revenue from it, they just don’t have the manpower to run it themselves.
With just three weeks left until show time, Mrs Facey urges anyone who can help to call her as soon as possible with any questions they might have.
You can contact her at the Show office on 6852 1311 in normal business hours.
