The Secretary shall be empowered to reject any entry not complying with the Regulations. 2. Any competitors not ready to take positions in any event at the scheduled time will be disqualified. 3. The Judge’s decision will be final. 4. Every livestock exhibit, accompanied by a Certificate of Entry, must be placed by the owner in the pen position allotted by the Stewards. 5. The attention of all exhibitors in District Events is drawn to the fact that all competitors and exhibitors in these events must be permanently residing within the Show district boundaries as defined on the map in the Schedule. Any disregard of this ruling will render the exhibitor liable to be disqualified. 6. In all Classes the Judge will disqualify all exhibits which do not comply with the terms as stated in the Section, and will not award prizes in any Class in which the exhibits do not possess sufficient merit. The Stewards will point out to the Judge all exhibits that do not comply with the stated terms. 7. All exhibits must be the bona-fide property of the exhibitor at the time of entry: and all farm produce is to be produced by the person exhibiting, except where otherwise specified. Any person knowingly making false entries for a prize shall forfeit the same. 8. Exhibitors will not be allowed to show labels denoting owners’ marks on sheep exhibited. Rams’ horns branded with the owners’ marks must have the marked portion covered. No exhibits shall have attached the name of the owner or exhibitor or any Medal or Certificate of Merit until the Judges have given their awards. 9. Every reasonable care will be taken of exhibits, but the Committee will not be responsible for any losses, damages or injuries either in transit or on the grounds, in any class. 10. No person, except those actually in charge and for whom an authority has been given, shall remain present during the adjudication of Judges, under any pretext whatsoever. The persons in charge must on no account leave their respective lot unless authorised by the Stewards of the Section. 11.

Amplifiers will not be allowed except those operated by the Association. 19. Any exhibitors intending to bring electrical equipment to the Showground will be required to ensure that such equipment is fitted with earth leakage circuit breakers and that all electrical leads, tools and appliances have been inspected and tagged by a licensed electrical contractor. This is essential for the safety of everyone involved and is a requirement of the Occupational Health and Safety Act. The Act imposes very severe penalties in the event of non-compliance with its provisions. Any exhibitors who do not comply will not be allowed to exhibit at the Showground. PLEASE CHECK ALL YOUR ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT AND LEADS BEFORE YOU COME TO THE SHOWGROUND TO AVOID THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY DIFFICULTIES. All Challenge and Perpetual Trophies and Cups should be inscribed with the winner’s name, at the expense of the Association, and must be returned at least six weeks prior to the following Show.
