UPCOMING SHOWS

Congratulations to everyone who competed with Welshies at this years Royal Queensland Show - it was great to catch up with so many of you and to see our Welshies strutting their stuff in the main ring.

With the end of the agricultural show season here in Queensland nearly upon us, be sure to support the last few agi shows that have Welsh classes in order to ensure that we keep those classes for next year! Canungra Show on Saturday 21st August 2010 has a fabulous Welsh classlist, and has the added bonus of a Welsh Society judge with Elizabeth D'hondt officiating. Gold Coast Show also has a great Welsh classlist on Sunday 29th August 2010, including a ridden Welsh and separate ridden Part Welsh Championships, and is supported by the Qld RPG with Special Rosettes.

Wondai (27-28 Aug), Beaudesert (4 Sep) & Noosa (10-11 Sep) shows also have Welsh classes. And don't forget the Qld RPG Youngstock Show on 30th October!
