STRICTLY NO ENTRY BEFORE 1:00 PM ON SUNDAY 23RD FEBRUARY 2020
Camping sites for the 2020 ActewAGL Royal Canberra Show have dramatically changed due to changes to the physical grounds of EPIC and the needs of the RNCAS. Traditional camping locations may no longer be in existence because of issue associated with the rain in 2018. New camping sites will be developed to cater for the larger transport rigs. Please ensure you read the site rules and requirements before applying for camping. Camping & Stabling will be booked separately from your online entry. You will be sent a notification email when the booking system is open. Camping is only permitted for the period Sunday 23rd February 2020 from 1.00 pm to 11.30 am on Monday 2nd March. A standard camping site is 10m x 3m; however larger sites are available for larger size vehicles, with fees on a sliding scale. If your vehicle(s) or camping facilities, when fully set up, exceed 10m X 3m you are required to book extra space, enough to accommodate your vehicle(s) and all other equipment as set up. Ensure annexes are included in your measurements. If your camping equipment exceeds your allocated space, you will be moved to another location at the direction of the Camping Staff. Every vehicle must be listed when entering online to receive authorised camping stickers. Vehicles must be housed only on the site booked. Any additional vehicles not authorised will be removed from the camping zones and moved to the offsite parking areas. Camping site costs – all sites are booked for the period 1 pm Sunday 23rd February to 11.30am Monday 2nd March 2020 inclusive regardless of length of stay. Fees are payable in advance as per the table. Electricity Many vehicles require connection to more than one 15-amp power outlet. If you require more than one 15-amp outlet, additional power can be supplied at $120.00 per 15-amp outlet. Each power outlet paid for will qualify for an authorised tag to attach to your lead. All leads must be provided by Exhibitors and must have a current safety test and tag. Unauthorised & untagged leads will be removed. Note: it is compulsory for ALL leads (even brand-new leads) to have been safety tested & tagged before they can be used on the grounds. Camping Rules At all times campers must abide by the directions given by the Camping Supervisor or their support staff. Failure to abide by the Camping Staff directions will lead to removal from the site. With over 5,000 campers each camping group must stay on their allocated space and not impinge on any other camp site or camping group. When applying for camping via the online system, it is agreed that you have read and understood all camping rules and regulations and will abide by them.

Please ensure you read the site rules and requirements before applying for camping. All applications for camping must be made at the same time as entering your horses for the 2020 Show.

CANCELLATION OF THE SHOW It is agreed between the parties that, if in the sole discretion of the Directors or the Chief Executive Officer or another authorised officer that the Show is to be partially or fully cancelled for any reason whatsoever, the Exhibitor shall not pursue the Society for the recovery of lost income or damages. This complete bar to an action applies to all headings of Law, whether it be Common Law in Contract or Tort or pursuant to any State, Territorial, or Commonwealth Statute Law. It is acknowledged by the Exhibitor that the Society has no duty to have a Show in any particular year and that this Clause operates as a complete defence for the Society to any such action. A refund of Entry Fees shall not be made unless an official withdrawal form is submitted to the Horse Section and is received by the Horse Competitions & Events Coordinator by Friday 13th December 2019. A refund will not be provided unless received by email or mail in writing on the correct form.
CHAMPIONSHIP AWARDS In Championships Classes, all first prize winners in the nominated Classes must parade. For the Reserve Championship, all first prize winners in the nominated Classes, except the winner of the relevant Championship Award, together with the second prize winner from the Class which was won by the Champion, must parade. For the Supreme Championship, all Championship winners from the nominated sections must parade. Exhibits will only be excused from parading for Champion or Reserve Champion in the case of: Horse Exhibits - on the production of a certificate from an RNCAS Veterinary Surgeon stating that the Exhibit is unfit to parade. Riding Competitors - on the production of a Doctor's Certificate stating that the rider is unfit to parade. Failure to parade when eligible for a Championship, Reserve Championship or Supreme Championship shall render the Exhibitor/Competitor liable to a Penalty of $150 plus the forfeiture of prize money, ribbons or trophy that may have been awarded in the Class which qualified the Exhibitor/Competitor for the Championship Class. If a Champion shall be disqualified or shall be found to be unqualified to compete in the Class for which it was entered or to compete for the Championship, then the Award shall be withdrawn. No other Exhibit shall be entitled as of right to the Award, but the Committee may with or without the advice or recommendation of the Judge, decide whether the Award shall be awarded and if so, to which Exhibit.
CHAMPIONSHIP COMPETITIONS Competitors who have multiple entries eligible for Championship competitions will be permitted to compete with each of their Exhibits. Competitors must present their Exhibits with properly attired riders/handlers into the ring and will be permitted to change onto their other horses for their individual workouts. Competitors should advise the Red Coats and Ring Stewards to allow for an orderly display of their Exhibits.
CHIEF HORSE STEWARD The powers of the Society, its Board and its Chief Executive Officer described in these General Rules have been delegated, in the respect of the Horse Section, to the Chief Horse Steward. The Chief Steward may from time to delegate these authorities.
CLASHES WITH CLASSES When entering Classes from the Horse Schedule please be aware that due to the complicated nature of the 6-day program there are likely to be clashes between some Classes. We are aware of these and every endeavour has been made to eliminate them, where possible. However, due to horses having multiple registrations and the fact that as many as seven classes are run at the same time, in different rings, it is not possible to eliminate all Class clashes. Therefore, where these occur, the Exhibitor may have to make a choice between one Class and the other. Your cooperation will be much appreciated. No refunds will be issued for class clashes.
