The 2010 Qld All Welsh Show was held Friday 19th to Sunday 21st March at Gatton Indoor Arena. Thankfully the weather was fine depsite concerns of an impending cyclone off the North Qld Coast. Thank you to all competitors for your participation - we have received such a positive response from competitors on the organistion of this years show, which helps make all the hard work put into it by our many voltuneers worthwhile.

We had a record of 234 exhibits entered, and 112 exhibitors with many new WPCS members attending their first Qld All Welsh Show - their enthusiasm and excitment for the breed has certainly renewed and strengthened the RPG's commitment to continually improve and promote Welsh Ponies of all sections in this state.

Offcial results from the show will be posted as soon as available, along with images. Our official photographer, Alyson McGovern, will post proofs on her website www.alysonmcgovern.com.au soon. Publicity images are also available from Tina Brewster.

A very special thank you to RPG Secretary, Sue Groundwater, who put many hours of work in prior to the show and spent the entire show in the office ensuring everyone was happy! Also a very sincere thank you (I think on behalf of all competitors) to Peter and Bronwyn McAdam for keeping the show flowing as our chief collecting ring stewards, Lorelle Laffey who had the task of stable opener along with many other tasks, Elizabth Doyle as results recorder in the office, and to all judges, stewards, anouncers and other volunteers who all pulled together and without whom a show of this size could not happen.
