President’s Report
Dear Members, fellow
Showmen and friends,
The year of 2025 is drawing to the end
and we’ve had a very successful year with
Shows,Societies and Safety.
In the late part of the year a lot of our
members attend Victorian shows while
the rest of us stay around New South
Wales & ACT. From all accounts they have
been successful with good attendance for
equipment as well as patrons. Well done to everyone.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Working committee
and our office, your time and efforts have been valued the everyday
running of this organisation takes a lot and I thank you on behalf of all
of our Members.
Think Tank is getting lots of enquires and responses so here’s hoping
it goes well.
Some of our members are off to New Zealand to celebrate Emily
Picketts 80th birthday, happy birthday Emily.
And also to Hawaii for Janet’s 40th. Hope you all have a blast.
Wishing everybody successful carnivals and a wonderful Christmas
looking forward to 2026 and what it brings our industry and Families.
I would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a very
prosperous New Year.
Kind regards,
Aaron Pink
President
