| Junior
Schedule : |
After
its great success last year we have once again produced
a Junior Schedule (see tab adjacent for full copy)
in an attempt to increase the involvement of both
juniors and teachers in the show. This condenses
the various enterable classes and competitions available
to juniors and schools into one easy to use document,
copies of which have been distributed through all
the local schools & youth oriented community groups
and in various places around Wellington. Also included
are many new competitions with great prizes on offer.
Eventually we would like to encourage the establishment
of a Junior Show Committee and get Junior Stewards
in all sections. If you are interested in being involved
please contact the Secretary (see Contacts tab)
|
Competitions:
|
This
year we will be running a number of competitions
for both the young and the young at heart, with many
great prizes up for grabs. The competitions will
include whip cracking, poetry, creative writing,
colouring in, video, fashion design and a mini tractor
pull. Have a look at the Competitions tab for further
information!
