No Poultry Competition at Melbourne Royal Show

All over 3AW Radio this morning. Rumour File and Justin Smiths morning program.
Many poultry fanciers are contacting 3AW (13 13 32 ) to register their opposition and great disappoinment.
104 Million Dollars from the public's purse. to refurbish the Showgrounds and this is how they treat the public. They cannot even hold a "Chook Show" out there now.
There has been no consultation with the governing body (VPFA) or the many Poultry Clubs, nor inviduals who have supported and sponsored this event over many, many years.
RASV will not speak to any-one on this matter. Many contacts are saying this is fact but will not say so on air.

If you would like to see chooks at the Royal ever again
Suggest fanciers voice their disgust long and loud [smilie=a_goodjobson.gif]

What a stupid decision do they not know that the poultry shows pull people to the whole show I.E gate sales, rides, food ect..... The decision makes absolutely no sense to me none at all :roll:

Looks like all the fuss may have had a good result as RAS Stephen Spargo said at 2.00pm Herald Sun on line today that they would find an alternative pavilion (Master Chef has usual pavilion) and hold poultry competition at 2013 Royal Show. :-)

Pressure of loss of attendance would have been a big factor poultry brings allot of lookers

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't the MRS founded on exhibitions such as the poultry showing. Seem to me a strange move to remove the very basis of the show for a cooking show?
