Camping is available from Thursday morning onwards. We have had a number of wonderfull people offering to help at the trial and our sincere thanks to you, but we will still need helpers over the weekend, I know everyone allways pitches in at trials but if you would like to help out then please call Mark on 0418 501171, there is always lots to do, even on Thursday. Finally to all our Easter judges I will contact everyone as soon as entries are known.

Hi Wendy
coming from a very soggy Bundaberg ,I'm curious about the conditions of the trial site . Whats the weather likely to be, have heard some areas down your way have had little or no rain.
cheers Wendy M

Wendy - I have not seen the trial site this year and someone from the committee might have more up to date info but usually there is not a lot of water unless the big ponds are full - last year empty. It is still quite warm with 31 forecast for this Sunday - who knows what it will be in another week but plan on summer type clothes, wet weather gear and a couple of sweaters.

Thanks Prue looking forward to some dry conditions see you all in a week
cheers Wendy

Hi Wendy, sorry about the delay. Mark and I are currently building a house and living on site in our caravan, the closest computer access we have is Mark's office which is 20 ks away in Ballarat, so not able to stay up with things at the moment. The weather forecast for Easter looks fabulous, fine and mid 20s every day, we will be at the trial site approx 10am Thursday morning and looking forward to catching up with everyone then.
Cheers,
Wendy.
