A meeting will be held in February to discuss the future of the Wellsford Show.
“If there is enough enthusiasm and energy, then we’ll go for it,” tireless organiser Lynette Gubb says.
“Wellsford is growing and it’s important that we continue to have events in town that we can call our own.”
This year’s event at Centennial Park was held in almost perfect conditions on Saturday, November 23.
A far cry from last year’s washout.
“We made a loss last year because of the weather and are still recovering. We also had less time to organise the event this year,” Lynette says.
“If we get support at the meeting in February, then we’ll have the time we need to put together a really good show.”
Lynette says she would like to see more food stalls, local entertainment, trade exhibitors and market-type stalls with local produce and arts and crafts.
She says she was encouraged by the positive feedback from the people who attended this year.
Organisers thanked the Rodney Local Board, local sponsors and the Wellsford Lions Club for their support.
Anyone who is interested in participating in next year’s show can contact Lynette on 021 116 8437.
