2010 is the 122nd year that the Annual Bungendore Show has set the scene for fun and healthy competition and displays of the finest talent, animals and produce in our area and beyond. We at the Bungendore Show Society have all the plans in action to make Sunday 31 January 2010 another memorable day.

The range of events and entertainment in 2010 is extensive and reflects the traditional events we all look for at an agricultural show and also developing trends in the rural community.

Exhibitors and visitors can be sure to find an event to suit them with sections for an ever expanding range of cattle, goats, sheep and poultry. The Championship Dog Show grows in size and reputation with every passing year. In the calm of the Pavilion, you'll find an amazing array of exhibits, from flowers to photography, handicrafts and needlework, preserves, home brews and vegetable and farm produce.

A Dairy Spectacular is one special item being planned for 2010.

Additional attractions for 2010 will be advised when details are known. Details of the Pet Parade and Flat Chat Dog Race (both introduced in 2008) are shown below. Some pictures of exhibits at the 2009 show are also attached.

The Jack Fletcher GM Tug-of-War Competition carries a prize of $100. Team size 6 members. Best of 3 pulls the winner. Select your team and be ready for action from 11 am.

2010 Bungendore Show Preparations Commence
Publicity Officer: Marion Whalan

The Bungendore Show for 2010 is set down for Sunday 31 January and it will be the 122nd time the local community has come together to celebrate the finest talent, animals and produce in our area and beyond.
The Bungendore Pastoral Agricultural and Horticultural Society currently has 68 members. Membership costs just $15.00 and brings the benefit of entry to the Show on the Day for two, a personal copy of the Show Schedule and afternoon tea for two (a value of $40.00). The Show Society needs new members and at such great value, it is very worthwhile. To enquire about membership contact the Show Secretary on 6238 1687.
Membership comes up at this time of year as the Annual General Meeting is held in August each year. This year’s AGM is set down for 12 August, commencing at 7.15pm in the Administration Building at the Showground.
For many years a dedicated group of volunteers has made up the Show Society Executive and several of these members are now looking for a break, so positions will become vacant at the AGM this year.
Please consider becoming part of what is considered the “best one day show in NSW”. There are a range of activities that require someone new to take over responsibility, such as the Scone Buttering, Star Picket and Tug-O-War competitions. New exhibits and activities have been added over recent years – who could forget the Flat Chat Dog Race and the excitement that generated at this year’s Show!
There is no reason if you are reading this and thinking of your special hobby or interest that you couldn’t join the Show Society and initiate a new exhibit or activity, for example a Dairy Cattle Spectacular and Spinners/Weavers Corner are two new exhibits currently being planned for the 2010 Show. The people of Bungendore and the surrounding rural areas of Wamboin, Bywong, Sutton, Hoskington, Carwoola and Michelago have shown strong and growing support of the Show each year and it would be beneficial for the Show Society to have some new representatives  to contribute to the growth and entertainment offered by the annual Bungendore Show.
You can contact any of the following people to discuss becoming involved in your local Show:
Bob Robertson, President 6238 1011
Rosemary Hurley, Secretary 6238 1687

HOW TO GET TO THE BUNGENDORE SHOW

The Showground entrance is on Mathew’s Lane, off Bungendore Road. See typical directions below.

2008 Bungendore Show

Pet Parade Report

The Pet Parade was a new event at the 2008 Bungendore Show and it proved to be a very popular one. A wide variety of pets and their handlers (both the young and young at heart), proudly paraded their pets and were judged in a wide range of categories.

By far the most unusual pet on parade was Perry, a two year old Velvet Worm brought along by its owner Asha Cardillo. Asha and her worm took out the most unusual category and also an equal first in the smallest pet category. Linley Reynolds with her 6 month old yabbie, Pinchy, was the other first place in the smallest pet category and Linley’s yabbie was a very close second in the most unusual category.

There were a large number of dogs entered in the parade and so the judging was broken down into small, medium and large size dogs. Results were as follows:

Small Dogs:
1st Mr Buttons (Jacob Nichols)
2nd Milo (Ashleigh Larsen)
3rd Ben (Ashleigh Bennett)

Medium Dogs:
1st Sandy (Leigh Cassells)
2nd Chico (Gloria Elder)
3rd Holly (Amanda Clarke)

Large Dogs:
1st Andy (Tique Borbas)
2nd Olly (Casey Ivey)
3rd Arri (Laura Field)

Another fun category was the “Pet Looking Most Like Its Owner”, which was a very difficult judging assignment and resulted in an equal first place awarded to Ellen Winters and her dog Muffin and James Brewer, with his sister’s young dog Miss Muffet.

The final and very challenging judging task was to award Champion Pet and Reserve Champion Pet. Pets and their handlers were asked to parade before the judges, who looked for aspects such as behaviour, attention to the handler’s signals, general happiness and friendliness in the pets.

In the inaugural Bungendore Show Pet Parade, which was possible due to the generous support and sponsorship of the Bungendore Veterinary Surgery, the Champion Pet for 2008 was awarded to “Arri” and his handler Laura Field. Reserve Champion Pet went to “Keats” and his owner Julie Cassells.

The popularity of the very first Pet Parade has firmly cemented the event in the regular schedule for future Bungendore Shows.

Flat Chat Dog Race Report

(Photos attached)

The AC Pets & Aquarium inaugural FLAT CHAT DOG RACE was another first time event at the 2008 Bungendore Show.

Once again, this new event was well supported by keen dog owners from around the Bungendore region. Due to the number of entries, heats were held by size of dog, with the first and second place getters in each heat progressing through to the final. The line stewards decision was final and thanks go to the local SES & Bush Fire Brigade volunteers who took on this role.

As the heats were conducted, it was clear that it was not necessarily the fastest dogs that were covering the 60 metre long track in the quickest time. Winning in a race depended on the dog running straight, ignoring interference from other dogs or interesting things somewhere on the sideline. The ability of the handler to attract and hold their dog’s attention was also a very necessary skill.

The finalist were:

Small dogs – Muffin (Ellen Winters) & Milo (Ashleigh Larsen)
Medium Dogs – Lou (Suzanne Clubb) & Seb (Kayla Bennett)
Large Dogs – Olly (Len Ivey) & Andy (Michael Borbas)

And the results were:

Flat Chat Dog Champion 2008 – Lou
2nd Place – Muffin
3rd Place – Milo
Wooden Spoon – Seb

AC Pets and Aquarium made the event possible with donations of four bags of dog feed for the winner, place getters and the last dog over the line as well as the Champion trophy and medallions for the place getters. Lou’s owner Suzanne Clubb says they will be back in 2009 to defend their title, so the challenge has been thrown down and the event will be on again at the 2009 Bungendore Show.

         COME ON – TAKE ME IN THE FLAT CHAT DOG RACE AT THE BUNGENDORE SHOW!!!
            Sponsored by AC Pets & Aquarium, Gibraltar Street, Bungendore

HERE’S HOW THE RACE IS RUN….

WHERE: On the main arena at the Bungendore Show Grounds, 25 January 2009 (right out in front of the main show pavilion).
WHEN:  Approximately 2.00pm. Entries will be taken during the Pet Parade and just prior to the event. Announcements will be made during the Show. Entry Fee: Gold Coin
HOW THE RACE WILL WORK:
For this event you require your fastest pet dog and a friend. One person (person A) will hold the dog at one end of a marked race track while the other person (person B) backs away from the dog until they are standing on the finish line. Person B can call the dog as they walk away and can even have doggy treats, all in the name of enticing the dog, once the starter’s horn blows, to quickly race towards person B. The first dog across the finish line wins. Heats may be held, depending on the number of entrants. Heats likely to be categorised by dog size (ie small, medium and large dogs). Dogs causing interference during a heat or final with other dogs will be eliminated.
PRIZES:
