It is with great sadness that we have had to make the devastating decision to cancel this year’s show due to untenable ground conditions, following an exceptionally wet season.
This decision has not been made lightly and we are all heartbroken to have had to make it, but sadly it has had to be made. The ground conditions and the safety of our trade, competitors and visitors was paramount in our minds during the making decision.
We appreciate the affect this will have on everyone involved and please be assured we will contact each and every one of you directly to discuss the personal ramifications to you and any monetary transactions that need to be resolved.
We ask for your patience in this matter as we have thousands of people to contact so it will take time, but be assured we will get to you.
We as a committee are committed to the show whole heartedly and express again our sadness towards adding the third notch in the weather cancellation record of the shows 108-year history.
We look forward to turning our focus to a fantastic event in 2017.
Sincerest Regards,
The Clevedon A&P Assn Committee

We’ve had some great entries come in, but we are still looking for a lot more to come through over the next three weeks.
All nominators go in the draw to win a $500 voucher from the team at Mitre 10 Mega Pukekohe.
This is a great incentive to put pen to paper and put someone up for the awards.
For categories like Junior Achiever, Community Worker, Sports Personality and Employee, just a nomination is a great addition to a CV because all nominees are sent an official letter.
Other categories like Volunteer, Inspiration, Act of Kindness and Lifetime Achievement are simply neat ways to acknowledge the efforts of our community heroes.
So please take a moment to nominate that special someone - or you can email me direct at julie.kaio@fairfaxmedia.co.nz
