(Thanks for the support
“A big thank you to the community for getting behind the 113th Annual Show” said Kelly Dowling, Gunning PA&I Society President. She noted that the show was a huge success, as was the Gunning Trots.
Kelly thanked local Fire Brigades for manning the gates. The various working bees were admirably complemented by the commitment of Council staff that made the showground a picture.
Sponsorship from local businesses has been fantastic making the Gunning Show great value for money, with so many free activities for families and kids. Finally Kelly thanked her fellow committee members for their drive and strength.
Some Show results
The winner of the coveted Claude Dunn Memorial Supreme Champion Hack of the Show went to 'Showman' ridden by Ms T Wells.
Aleira Plath, with her horse 'Rowlee Ranger', won the keenly contested Frank Hallam & Sons Memorial Trophy in the sporting arena.
The Novice Yard Dog competition was won by Chris Sherwood and 'Budge' on 189 points. The Open Draw Yard Dog showed a clear winner in Kevin Howell with 'Abba' on 184 points.
Roadworks
Those who have been advocating that the road between Dalton and Jerrawa needed some urgent attention will be pleased that work is now in progress there. There are many blind corners and crests on this road, with only a narrow strip of bitumen.
Any bright sparks?
