SHOW POSTPONED
WAVERLEY DECISION GROUND NOT AVAILABLE Because the Waverley Racecourse . .11 not be available, the Waverley .vgiicultural and Pastoral Assoc 1 , a...un’s annual show for 1941 has been postponed. A decision to this effect was reached by the association at an extraordinary general meeting recently. The president, Mr. C. J. Brown, explained that advice had been received irom the Waverley Racing Club that oecause of circumstances beyond their control the club was unable to grant the association the use of its buildings and facilities at the racecourse for the show on March 15. The question of transferring the show to the Waverley Domain was discussed. The executive reported that the grounds had been inspected, and that the show could be held there on March 15, but that a great deal ot work would be necessary. The question of whether members had the time available to carry out preparations had also to be considered. Several members pointed out that the overhead costs would be considerably increased, and the opinion was expressed that as the association’s finances were improving it would be unwise to jeopardise them at this stage.
The meeting decide'd to postpone the show till a date when it could be held on the Waverley Racecourse.
