Inevitablue Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I don't know the areas well, are they flood prone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salukifan Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) I don't think they will end up under water but they can get pretty boggy. Show secretary has posted on Ozshow that they are watching both showgrounds at the moment and both are very wet. They are investigating whether or not they can relocate to Bungendore also but will post decisions online tomorrow. Personally I'd not be feeling too hopeful. We have serious rain expected here in the area in the next 48 hours. Even if the grounds are above water, there's no guarantee roads to them will be.

Inevitablue Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Thanks for that. I should join OzShow! Could you update this thread if anything is put on OzShow? :) Much appreciated, and I'm glad I didn't intend on camping this weekend :laugh: I don't mind the rain, my dogs have brown legs away!

Yep, I will. I don't have access to Ozshow during the day but I'm sure someone will tell me or post here. :) Its a real bummer for the AG shows in terms of gate takings but at the same time, a whole bunch of horse trucks and cars bogged up to their axles and the risk to competitors in events like show jumping need to be considered. Might have to go to Yum Cha instead. :) Edited February 29, 2012 by Telida Whippets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inevitablue Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Argh.. I hate Apple corrective text! My dogs have brown legs ANYWAY Agree about the horses, studs can only do so much. Do they always cancel the whole show, or allow the dogs to continue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they always cancel the whole show, or allow the dogs to continue? I honestly don't know. Only cancellations I've ever seen have been either the whole box and dice or the State CC's heat policy in action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyosha Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Tarago's ground would be pretty soggy by now... I'm not as familiar with Braidwood. I'm starting to doubt it will happen now that Boorowa is off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alyosha Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Nothing new on Ozshow yet Inevitablue. I'll keep an eye on it and let you know. It does sound like they will be trying to go ahead, even if that means moving it to Bungendore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salukifan Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hot off the press from Dogs ACT... looks like both shows are now off: discussions [held] with EPIC this morning and due to the unprecedented rain and more forecast over the next 48 hours they deemed the grounds closed for events. The showground is occurring flooding in some areas and advice from EPIC is that the car parks would not endure the traffic. Another point of concern is the damage to the grounds if occurred would have to covered by clubs holding the fixtures.One last important issue the showgrounds is a emergency relief centre and as such they are preparing for unlikely events and this is their first priority. This is regrettable but due to many numerous issues concerning safely the dog grounds will be closed until such times the conditions of the show ground improves.
