The Burnie Show Horse Events Committee would like to sincerely thank all of our very special volunteers who helped us run the 100th Burnie Show last weekend. There was Brielle Gray, who was on the job from Thursday evening till late Saturday, helping put up jumps, take them down again, set up dressage arenas, and take them down again and doing a host of other things for us, and still managing to take hundreds of fantastic photos of people competing. Amanda McHugh, her daughter and the daughter's friend (whose names have escaped me - I'm sorry). They were also helping from Thursday evening till late Saturday setting up and pulling down, and time keeping as well. Rodney, Paula, Taya and Lockie Jupp, who helped set up and take down, and who marshalled show jumpers all Friday, then organised the setting up of the dressage arenas. Samatha McGrath, who stewarded in the ring both days and pencilled for the dressage as well. Julie Coldicutt, who kept the judges and stewards and other volunteers looked after food and drink wise and helped out at the secretary's tent. Bill Broad who came along and did the scoring for the dressage for us. Damien McGinness who assisted with parking and gate duties, and who helped out in the showjumping ring. Helmut Rechberger, Paul Kemp and Paul Gardam, who all helped out putting up jumps, and to all of the other helpers involved with the jumping. To anyone who helped in any way - we are very grateful. We are already looking at a few slight changes to improve things for next year. We hope to see you all there.
