Preparations are gathering momentum for planned events to celebrate the 150 years of the Whittlesea Agricultural Society.

A committee has been meeting regularly since August 2007 and working closely with Society members in view of satisfying all parties and presenting a good cross section of what makes up our grand and colourful past.

Horse drawn vehicles, the main means of transport for many years will be centre stage at the 2009 Show, plus ‘special classes’ in all areas with a hint of yester year will be included in the Schedule this year.

Displays of historical photos, prize cards and other Show paraphernalia, plus a list of original commemorative merchandise available for sale to the public is also planned.

A variety of unique attractions, a special Grand Parade and much, much more is also in the planning.

Our Gala night is planned for Saturday 24 th October, an evening allowing members and friends time to reminisce, be entertained and of course toast the long history of the Society. This night is open to the public (so mark it on your calendar now); tickets are at $60 a head; more details of this night and other events will be forth coming in the months to come!
