Dear members friends
and readers,
This year 2024 has challenged us
in ways and educated is in others.
I think it’s been quite productive
for most of us.
The latest new ride in Australia,
The Phoenix, presented by Gills
Partyland Amusements is a
beautiful and amazing piece of
equipment. It still astounds me the ingenuity and lighting
that these amazing engineers keep coming up with.
Can’t wait to see what comes next to our shows.
World fun fair month is gaining recognition all around the
world and bringing all show people closer together. We would
like to congratulate the future for fairground team of ladies
and thank you for all your hard work.
Aussie who was a huge hit here in Australia opening shows and
making appearances all over this great country and I believe is
staying on for more adventures so keep your eye out for her.
Quite a few of us will be making the track overseas to Bali
to have a well-deserved break and celebrate Teddy Baker ‘s
50th birthday.
I hope everybody enjoys and comes home safe.
Here’s wishing you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
May your Carnivals have great success
Looking forward to THINK TANK MONDAY 13th JANUARY 2025,
and hope everyone can make it.
Happy and safe travels.
Kind regards,
Aaron Pink
President
