Hello to all showmen, show societies and friends of our industry,
The winter break is upon us, and the weather is giving us its fury!
The rainwater tanks will be full soon.
Winter in SA means maintenance period and getting our outfits ready for the spring runs, some
members trade at markets and small hire work to keep the tucker on the table.
SafeWork SA are inundated with 5 yearly renewals, as when the registrations first came into place, we were all registered at the same time, or timeframe which has now resulted in all registrations running out respectively. This is giving their department a hectic workload for renewals.
As a result of this workload, they have had to send out official letters giving permission for us to operate whilst waiting for certificates.
I only hope that those letters won’t need to be tested at some stage, as I don’t have a lot of faith in any correspondence from the Gods.
In closing I wish everyone safe prosperous trading!
Regards,
Daryl. C. Girdler President
