The helping hands behind every competition you see at the Show.
Each competition section is led by a dedicated committee of volunteers who help bring the Show to life — from organising entries and overseeing judging to setting up displays and managing the action on Show Days. Their local know-how and commitment help ensure every section runs smoothly and competitors feel supported from start to finish.
