President's welcome FAMILIES from the city, the country and our Let the rural centres will come together for the 2008 Royal Melbourne Show. an event which is marked as a "must attend" on the calendars of hundreds of thousands of Victorians. The Royal Agricultural Society of Victoria welcomes you to its 153rd Show, the only family event in the state that unites city dwellers and country folk for 11 days of fun, festivity, entertainment, education and participation. Generations have taken home a lifetime of memories to treasure and share with family members and friends. Society patron. the Governor of Victoria David de Kretser, will officially open the Show at noon on Saturday, September 20. If you have not been to the Show for a couple of years you will be amazed by the great design and layout of the indoor and outside spaces at the Showgrounds —the results of a vast overhaul undertaken during 2005-2006. This people-friendly site has spacious walkways linking well-appointed pavilions with areas to rein, listen to music or watch amazing demonstrations while enjoying fine food and beverages. The return of horses to the Show this year will restore a crucial balance to the event, enhancing the activities on the Coca-Cola Arena with competitions and entertainment. Last year the horse events had to be cancelled at the'last minute due to the devastating outbreak of equine influenza in Queensland and New South Wales, which threatened Victorian livestock.

HE Show is an important and historic competition for all T Victorians. More than a day out, it is a competition for everything from cake decorating, arts, crafts and cooking to prize bulls, goats and majestic horses. Competitors are drawn from across the state and two of the most prestigious competitions both involve horses — the Garryowen Trophy and World Cup Showjumping. Both return this year after events were cancelled last year because of the horse 'flu outbreak. The Garryowen Trophy has been run since 1934 in honour of popular equestrians Bill and Violet Murrell, who died with their horses in a fire at their Mentone stables. Violet Murrell's prize horse Garryowen was one of those killed. Judging covers many facets of show riding including horse conformation, soundness, manners, pace, equipment, saddlery, costume and riding ability. The World Cup Showjumping qualifier will be held under lights at night on the Coca-Cola Arena.
