STEPHEN ROGERS
(Former Show President)
In February this year Stephen Rogers, our tireless President since 2010 stepped aside from his position. In addition to this demanding position Stephen has family responsibilities, managing his farm and in between he tried to find the time and energy to pursue his other interests including sailing. Even in that he took on an administrative role.
Stephen’s passion for the show and the incredible hard work required for 14 years were difficult for most but especially those on the Management Committee to comprehend at times. No matter what, if no one else could manage to put up their hand to carry out most tasks he
would do so over and over.
Committee and other show volunteers so respected his commitment to the show as his leadership certainly kept the show going for all those years. He has now been appointed Immediate Past President and is still a member of the Management Committee. There is no doubt the latter will continue to draw on his knowledge and expertise for years ahead.
Stephen has been replaced by Rosemary Sage (previous show treasurer) however she is currently on leave from the show. In the meantime, the show is being well led by Neville Hall (VP 1).

OUT & ABOUT
HISTORY SNIPPETS
Quick Wooing in the Early Days
In the early days of the Colony, women were scarce and were snapped up as wives almost before they had put foot on shore. Sometimes, the husband elect didn’t even pause to enquire the name of their wives to be. Below is such a case.
A party of immigrant girls had just arrived at Cliff House in Port Elliot. They had moved in pending allotment as servants to various settlers. As one resident, Edward Blake (anonymous name) strolled by, he saw a girl looking over the fence.
He asked, “Do you want to be married?” (without any preliminary conversation) “Yes” answered the girl without hesitation. “All right said Blake, I shall go to find a person”. When Blake found the minister, he asked “What’s the name of the bride?” “Bothered if I know” said Blake scratching his head, “I forgot to ask her”. Nevertheless, the couple was married next morning and enjoyed many years of wedded bliss and their descendant still live in the district.

THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES COUNCIL OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA COUNTRY SHOWS INNOVATION AWARD GUIDELINES
The importance of presenting a show in an innovative and attractive manner underpins the desire of the general public to keep returning year after year. Whether it is to see what is new or to appreciate traditional sections presented in a different way, it all helps to build anticipation and the notion that the show is an event not to be missed.
The Innovation Award is intended to encourage conveners to present their sections in an attractive manner that builds curiosity and creates interest. It also rewards them for their extra time and effort. It will be a three-tiered process, with judging at Local Show, Association and State Level, with the following guidelines to assist show committees.
LOCAL SHOW LEVEL
1. The Show Committee establishes which section is the most innovative on the day. This can be achieved by either the President doing a “ Captains Pick “, the Committee collectively making a decision or a suitable person being asked to judge. It could be a good opportunity to
involve the Show Patron as a judge.
2 . When the Section has been selected, it is suggested that photos be taken to be used to prepare a submission for entry at Association Level.
3 . An announcement and presentation to the winner can be made at the Official Opening or some other appropriate time.
4 . Following the Show, when time permits, a submission is prepared, briefly explaining the innovative features of the section with photos to support it . This is then sent to the Association Secretary / Convener by the prescribed date.
ASSOCIATION LEVEL
1 . The Secretary / Convener, on receipt of all the submissions, will arrange for a suitable person (preferably with some marketing / promotional / business experience) to judge the entries at a convenient time.
2 . The announcement of the winner (and placings, if desired) can be made at the Association Awards Presentation Dinner / Function.
3 . The winning entry / submission
is then sent to the State Office for judging.
STATE LEVEL
1 . The State Convener, on receipt of the Association Entries, will arrange for a suitably qualified person to judge them at a convenient time.
2 . The winner and placings will be announced at the Rural Ambassador Dinner during the Royal Adelaide Show.
SPONSORSHIP
The State Level is being sponsored by Michael Scott, as well as the Southern Association and the Pt. Elliot Show. Shows and Associations are encouraged to seek sponsors for their own areas.
It is understood that some spring shows may not be prepared for the competition this year, however it is hoped that all shows will encourage and support their hard working conveners next year.
The year runs from August to July as with other competitions.

SOUTHERN FLEURIEU HISTORICAL MUSEUM
Families of the Fleurieu continue to donate articles of historical significance to the Museum, often items unused for years. They do this in the knowledge that they will be cared for and looked after. The history of these items is researched to ensure authenticity, the items restored by our volunteers and displayed for public enjoyment.
A consistent group of volunteers attend each week and spend their time restoring the items which have been donated. While this does not cost very much because our volunteers do the work, the Museum still has bills to pay, and any donations received are used for the restorations.
We are open Thursdays and Sundays from 10am
till 3pm, and at other times by appointment. If there is a group who wish to come, we can even do morning tea or lunch (email secretary@sfhmuseum.net.au for a quote). Entry is $7.00 for Adults $2.00 for children under 16, under 5 years are free and family tickets are $15.00. Over the Show weekend the Museum will be open from 9am till 4pm and we would appreciate a gold coin donation from visitors. The collection cans are located at the front and rear doors and at various places around the Museum.
Enquiries, please email the Secretary Lorraine Werner or telephone our President Deane Perry on 0427 114 189.
