This lecture explores the personalities and creative contributions of generations of women designers who have changed the look of a business that hitherto had been dominated by men. His lecture is entitled Designing Women. The ceramic industry in Britain has been dominated by women designers since the 1920s. Some, like Clarice Cliff or Susie Cooper, are household names while others are less known today. Nevertheless, their collective impact on the industry has been huge, creating styles for both tableware and decorative ceramics that have infl uenced the world.

The Berry Show Society would like to extend a warm country welcome to the Berry th st st community to attend your 126 Berry Show on Friday 31 January & Saturday 1 February 2014.
Come along for the two days and see the best of our local agriculture, produce, animals,
local businesses, crafts, cooking, art, woodchoppers and sportspeople.
This great display is all made possible by the generosity of our sponsors and supporters.
We thank these outstanding businesses, organisations and individuals for helping to keep our Berry Show tradition alive & thriving. Thank you to our Champion Sponsors; Strongbuild Classic Design, Express Tools & Camping, Silos Winery and Millpaca Stud for their grand generosity. A kind thank you to our Blue Ribbon Sponsors; Berry Rural Co-op, Berry IGA, Berry Pharmacy, Andrew Bullock, Elders Real Estate, Engineered Floors Australia, T.J. Fahl Rural Contracting, Great Southern Hotel Berry, Illawarra Equine Centre, Orford Rural Contracting, Pentair, Ray White Real Estate, The Grange at Berry and The Waddell Family.

Many of those listed offer their contribution year after year. We thank them all for their support. If you would like to become a sponsor of the Berry Show please contact our Sponsorship committee.
There are a few changes to the Berry Show this year which we hope you will enjoy. The Grand Parade has moved to Saturday at 1.30pm. It promises to be a spectacle not to be missed! The Beef Cattle judging has now moved to the Saturday morning so those who can’t make it early Friday to see the Dairy Cattle show will still have the opportunity to see some of the incredible
cattle we have in the Berry region and beyond.
This year we will also be holding our first Young Farmer Challenge. This is a fast-paced youth event showcasing the technical skills involved in working on the land, with animals and in
agriculture in general. Don’t miss the Stockhorse Demonstration or the working dogs in action!
Of course there are all the regular attractions like the Rodeo, Children’s Pet Show, the Pavilion Displays, Beaut Utes and Fireworks.
The Showgirls will be seen around the grounds before the announcement of the 2014 Berry Showgirl on Saturday evening. Relax in the Grandstand Cafe, chill at the Axemen & Sawyers Bar with live entertainment, pat the foals and calves in the Animal Nursery and see the woodchips fly. If you haven’t already, then like us on facebook, www.facebook.com/theberryshow to keep up to
date with what’s on.
So put on your checked shirt, pull on your boots and GET COUNTRY for the best event on the annual Berry calendar, the Berry Show. See you there!
Warmest Regards, The Berry Show Committee & The Ladies Auxiliary
