Presidents welcome Welcome to the 155th Kilmore Agricultural Show!

This year we are pleased to introduce some new competitions including the Kilmore

Christmas Pudding , the Ursuline Boran Poetry Prize and the reintroduction of the

Fleece competition.

We are also celebrating 200 years of the bicycle, with bike n’ blend - make your own

pedal powered smoothies, an information stall from Mitchell Bicycle Users Group

(MBUG), a bicycle themed colouring competition and the inaugural Poetry

competition has a bicycle theme.

A highlight of the show will be the emergency services display which celebrates and

recognises our local services including the CFA, SES, DELWP, VicPol, Ambulance

Victoria, Kilmore Community and Mitchell Shire Council.

On top of this we have all the usual attractions and competitions.

I would like to thank the small band of volunteers who keep this 155 year old Kilmore

tradition alive. - Enjoy the show!

DOG HIGH JUMP

The Kilmore Agricultural Show Dog High Jump is now a V.A.S. registered event. Winners of each category will qualify for the State Final, held at the Ballarat Show in November each year. Class Description 1. Small dog class under 50cm 2. Medium dog class 50cm - less than 60cm 3. Large dog class 60cm and over. $5 entry fee, payable on show day at event site. Register your dog at least 15 minutes before the event starts on show day at the event site. **VAS Dog High Jump Competition Regulations The competition is a test of the dog's jumping ability. The competition is open to all dogs. The dog is permitted to jump on to or over the jump. A dog who has won at Show Society level will qualify for the State

Final Judging. A dog can represent only ONE Society. State Final is held at Ballarat Show in November each year.

All dogs not competing must be on a lead with a handler in the Marshalling Area behind the competition area. Competition area should be 15 metres long by 8 metres wide.

Only ONE dog may be loose in the competition area at any one time. Every dog must compete at every height. There must be a handler at the top of the jump to act as a catcher if

necessary, and a handler as a catcher at the bottom. The dog's owner must supply the extra handler.

Each dog is allowed three attempts at each height if necessary. In the event of two dogs jumping the same height, the winner shall

be determined as the dog that took the least number of attempts from one jump.

A dog may compete on a loose lead or must be released at a minimum of three metres from the jump.

ANY MISHANDLING OR MISUSE OF A DOG WILL INCUR IMMEDIATE DISQUALIFICATION

If, in the opinion of the Stewards, a dog is unsafe to other competitors or the general public, it will be withdrawn from the competition.

If, since competing at a local Show, a dog which has won in any of the classes has grown in height, that dog must compete in the appropriate class at the State Final.
