HORSE EVENTS (only) POSTPONED for
2022 YARRAM SHOW
The Yarram Agricultural Society is extremely disappointed to announce that we will have to postpone the Horse Events at our upcoming Show on 19th November 2022 in
the hopes we may be able to run a separate Horse Show in the New Year.
The safety of our competitors, both horses and riders, judges and volunteers is paramount to us and we feel we cannot guarantee a surface that would be adequate. We
are very mindful of our responsibilities to have the best outcome for all, thus our
decision.
With unseasonal heavy rain and more predicted, along with the poorly timed, and ongoing installation of underground irrigation throughout the oval we feel the risk
is just too high to host these events.
To say we are disappointed is an understatement as we have not been able to produce a Show since 2019 due to Covid and now this scenario.
All our other Show activities will go ahead as normal – Poultry, Pet Parade, Indoor Exhibits showcased in our new Peter Bland Exhibit Shed, Petting Zoo, Beaut Ute,
Wood Chop, Dairy Cow Challenge Presentations, Showgirls as well as entertainment and trade stands.
All paid entries for the Horse Competitions will be refunded or held over if required for the proposed new date in early 2023.
We sincerely apologise for taking this extreme line but the safety of everyone is the most important factor at the end of the day.
Our proposed new date has just been granted from VAS Ltd - 15th April 2023.
