Lifting the Lid on 50 Years Lifting the lid on 50 years In early 1995, letters were delivered from organisations and individuals around the country addressed to the New Zealand National Fieldays Society’s time capsule. The stainless-steel capsule was placed in the entrance to the Mystery Creek Pavillion upon the building’s completion in May 1995 with the instructions to be opened in the Society’s 50th year. Flash forward 23 years to 2018 when the time arrived to see what was inside and what the predictions were for how the agricultural industry has changed. Surrounded by a selection of Society board members, staff, past presidents, life members and members; the capsule was lifted revealing many perfectly in-tact letters and various pieces of history. There were forecasts of artificial breeding, genetic engineering, a cashless society, an increase in corporate farming and lifestyle blocks and possums becoming extinct. A selection of these letters have been compiled to form a slice of the Society’s history. Enjoy!

Tourism has grown in importance and is expected to continue to grow. Conversely, it is not anticipated that any future non-tourist business closures will have a substantial economic impact as there are few major employers left in the area. The Council is actively pursuing a strategy of developing tourism and being increasingly business- friendly. The current resident population is ageing, and there is a upward drift in the number of non-resident properties. 2 CouncilMARKTM $505m GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT1
