Callout for motorcycles, farm bikes
THE Camperdown Pastoral and Agricultural Society (P and A Society) is calling for entries into this year’s Motorcycle Show and Shine, including for the newest section.
This year’s show will include a farm bike section in the Show and Shine, with event steward Kylie Spokes inviting residents to come dressed for the show or for a day on the farm.
“We’re looking for four-wheelers or two-wheelers, but we’re just looking for people who might have hotted up their farm bike, or there’s something special about it or it might be a really old farm bike they’re particularly proud of,” she said.
“They’ll be in the competition for a $100 prize to the best farm bike and they’ll also be eligible for the People’s Choice prize, which is also $100 thanks to our generous sponsors.
“We also have some vintage bikes coming from out of town.
“We’d love anybody to sign up – we have categories of the UK/Euro bike, US bikes, Japanese bikes and the People’s Choice awards.
“People who fit any of these are welcome, but even if there’s something who doesn’t fit in those categories is welcome to come and display their bike or enter it into the People’s Choice award.”
Bikes entered into the Show and Shine are asked to be at the Camperdown Showgrounds by 9.30am, with judging expected to take place around 11.30am.
Ms Spokes said the aim was to encourage at least 100 bikes participating, with last year’s Show and Shine featuring between 60 and 70 bikes.
Residents can enter the Show and Shine by contacting Ms Spokes on 0401 717 640.
She said entries are also open for another new event at the show.
“The Young Farmer’s Challenge is a new event we’ve got at the show this year – we’re looking for four teams of four to participate in the challenge,” Ms Spokes said.
“They’ll be going through a series of activities like identifying grain, doing a first aid challenge and rolling a wool bale around a course – and we’ve got some great prizes for that competition.
“It’s for young farmers over 18 – they don’t have to young in age, but young at heart.”
