Congratulations to all the ANCC committee a fabulous National Show.
Massive thank you to all the donations from people and sponsors.

Congratulations to all the entrants and winners of the show. Guinea pig showing is definitely a labour of love.

When we enter this show it is not only to compete against other competitors from interstate, but also about sharing tips, tricks, getting great feedback and advice from Judges on how to improve your breeding, but also meeting new friends in the fancy. I personally have met such lovely people, and am so greatful for the advice on where to go with my own breeding program.

I hope to see and meet many new friends next year at the National.
Come join in the fun.

🤩 GOULBURN AG SHOW 🤩
2nd March 2024

A very busy time for Capital Country Cavy Club running the Goulburn Agricultural Show the weekend following Canberra Royal, but what a great show it was with so many beautiful cavies being entered and a tonne of public coming through the doors to see the judging.

We ran a double show, with Karen Nichols judging the main show and Mikaela Piper training, while Michelle Parker judged the Junior Show (Young Stock) for those cavies under 12months.

Well done to Michelle Parker taking out Best and Reserve in Show in the main show and to Sam Melavirta for Best in Show with a beautiful baby lilac and Sarah Apperley for Reserve in Show with a promising junior rex in the Junior Show.

Another successful show over and done.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
A personal thank you from me. (Show Secretary and Manager)

Thank you to Goulburn Ag Society, Show Committee, Helpers, Canteen Ladies and Gentlemen, Everyone involved. Great Show.

Thank you to Karen, Mikaela and Michelle for Judging. Advice and feedback were positive and always appreciate.

Big thank you to Michelle for helping to make sure the show ran super smooth and to Nikki for running the info stand and having petting pigs (You never fail to help Nikki).
Thank you to Natalie for providing the paperwork (it is a big job and it is a difficult job when you have competing priorities, I for one under appreciated you) so thank you.
Thank you to everyone that helped set up while I was flitting about.
Thank you to stall holders, exhibitors and my amazing husband Peter for speaking with the public and providing positive advice and products and of course your amazing animals for showing.
I have stated before this is an amazing club and I am very proud to be a part of.

One thing I am most appreciative of is the advice our members provide to newer members when starting to show.

Our clubs are here for the improvement of the bred standard of G.Pigs.
Every club has its issues, calling out bad behaviour at our clubs (Negative comments, throwing tantrums, making others feel inadequate in your clubs) is a job for the committee to handle and no matter who it is (Judges, Exhibitors etc).

We are all here for the same reasons, to improve the standard of our beloved animals, to enjoy showing and meeting new friends.
Let's all make 2024 a year for encouraging new members and maintaining existing members in a fun positive way.
Lets all make this year a positive year with positive experiences
