Well here it is…….. this year we have online tickets available, all you need do is scan the QR code and follow the link. We are registered with “Iwannaticket” this year to see how it goes. Hopefully we get lots of support and this will be the way of the future.
******YES you can still buy tickets at the gates, but purchasing them online means you get through the gates a bit faster

⭐️THANK YOU BARRY! ⭐️

At our December meeting we presented Barry Nisbet with a gift for his over 30 years with the Showground management committee.

A massive thank you for all your dedication and hard work as Ground Supervisor for the Hay Showground Management Committee. Your commitment, effort, and extra work behind the scenes have made a real difference, we truly appreciate everything you have done to keep things running smoothly. 💫

Barry retired from his position in October but we couldn’t keep a good man down! And in true Barry style he couldn’t stay away and has come back to help out after our caretaker retired this month. Thank you Barry for all that you do, we certainly appreciate ya!

We say farewell to our wonderful Showground caretaker, Kevin, and wished him well as he begins his next chapter. 🌟

A few of us from the user groups had the pleasure of taking him out for lunch to say thank you for everything he’s done for our community groups and showground events. His hard work, reliability, and good humour have made such a difference to everyone who uses the grounds, and he will be truly missed.

Thank you, Kevin for your dedication and care over the years — you are a great asset to the Showground msnagement committee. Wishing you all the very best for the future. ✨
