The show exhibit sections and entry forms our 70th Anniversary Show have been posted on our Gidge Show web page. The hard copy Show Book is at the printers and should be available at local outlets in early September.

As usual the Society is short of helpers for the Show. Friday 28 October, from when Hall exhibits are accepted for judging, and following the judging is when we are always short of assistance. If you be able to help, please contact the Chief Hall Steward, Val Forrest on 9274 1823 / 0429 177 886 or by email

This year the Society, other Showgrounds User Groups and the City of Swan has been the target of strong criticism by a section within the community. Not only has criticism been directed at the Society as an entity but at individuals within the organisation. The latter is totally unacceptable. Below are some facts that may be unknown or may have been misrepresented to the wider community and beyond.
