Closing date for entries is the 31st October. NO ENTRIES WILL BE ACCEPTED ON SHOW DAY. 2. The committee shall have the right to refuse or reject any entry which it deems objectionable or unworthy of exhibition. 3. The Judges’ decision will be final. 4. All reasonable care will be taken of exhibits but no responsibility. 5. All exhibitors must place their exhibits in the space allotted them. All exhibits, when on the Showground will be under the control of the stewards, and exhibitors and those in charge of exhibits are expected to co-operate with the stewards and carry out their wishes. 6. A fee of $20 must accompany protests, which will become forfeit if in the opinion of the Committee the protest is deemed to be trivial. 7. All stock must be correctly classed and names and exact ages specified by the exhibitor on entry forms under risk of disqualification. The Judges are empowered to determine the age of the animal. Age allowance will be given to juniors. 8. If, in the opinion of the Chief Steward any exhibit or stock shall be deemed to be diseased, dangerous or objectionable, the owner of such exhibit shall immediately, upon notice to that effect, remove such exhibit from the Society’s ground. 9. In the event of any animal breaking loose and/or causing any damage whatsoever, the owner of such animal or person having control thereof, shall indemnify the Society against all damages, costs, expenses or liabilities incurred in connection with the same. Whilst we have a significant Public Liability Insurance cover of our own, it does not necessarily protect livestock exhibitors from claims which may be made against them as a result of exhibiting their animals. It is strongly recommended that you contact your insurer to ensure your own Public Liability Insurance is extended to cover you whilst your stock is off the farm and exhibited elsewhere. 10. The judge has authority to re-class in all livestock sections. 11. Any exhibit entered in the wrong class by the exhibitor may be excluded from competition in that class, but may be permitted by the stewards to compete in its proper class. 12. Three or more entries must be received in any class or no second prize money will be paid. In addition to prize money, the Society will present first, second, third and fourth prize ribbons. 13. Prize money will not be paid until after the Grand Parade. 14. Championship ribbons will be awarded at the judge’s discretion. 15. The Committee reserves the right to postpone or cancel any event, through lack of entries or any other cause whatever. 16. Any exhibitor in arrears with his entry or space fees will be debarred from making further entries until such arrears are paid. 17. No stock may be removed from the Showground before 4 pm except with the permission of the Chief Steward. 18. When submitting entries, exhibitors will please quote schedule numbers and sections of their respective exhibits. 19. The Committee will not act as ‘go-between’ or undertake to sell any exhibit for the benefit of, or on behalf of, owners or exhibitors unless special arrangements have previously been made with the secretary. Nor may any exhibitor or owner conduct sales of exhibits or cause such exhibits to be removed during Show hours in such a manner as might be deemed to interfere with the Show or its functions without permission from the respective officials in charge of such exhibits. 20. You enter the showground and exhibit your animals knowing you do so at your own risk. ###### EQUINE SPECIFIC: 1. When ordered by the stewards all horses should be taken out on parade. 2. Stallions are no longer permitted on ground unless competing in the showjumping ring and then their status must be notified to the organizing committee at time of entry. No stallion to be left tied up on the ground unattended. 3. Carriage Classes - The driver must be seated in the carriage/vehicle and in control of the horse at all times once the horse has been put to. No horse shall be left tied up and still harnessed to the carriage/vehicle under any circumstances. 4.
