Our Secretary seized the opportunity to discuss our plans and the plight of agricultural shows with David Littleproud MP (a former Show Treasurer himself) and Andrew Gee MP and thank them on behalf of our association, the Royal Bathurst Show, the Western Group of Show Societies and all Australian agricultural shows for the support the Federal Government has provided to us over the past couple of years. The COVID Relief Program and the Infrastructure Grants have been a godsend to our societies and particularly regional shows. Hopefully we can convince the government, through the Deputy Prime Minister Barnaby Joyce to do another round of infrastructure grants for regional agricultural shows. We certainly dropped the hint a few times.
