Unfortunately the only other alternative is the trusty pen and paper but this is something Mrs Saville said will need to be monitored heavily, with the show at risk of being shut down if people don’t list their full contact details. So far the only event which will be cancelled is the Championship Dog Show, with Mrs Saville citing a COVID-safe plan from Dogs Queensland that was basically unworkable at Clifton under the current conditions. “We would like to run all of our events but it may not be possible,” she said. “The whip cracking will be on the weekend before because that’s easy for us to manage as a single
Show secretary Adele Saville knows it won’t be easy but said co-operation will be key in making sure the event goes ahead safely. “We just felt that Clifton needs an event like this because there hasn’t been anything in a long time and we want to bring everyone together again,” she said. “We are going to need the community support to be able to do this, both volunteer-wise and attendance-wise. “We have to make everything viable,” Mrs Saville said.

ALLORA SHOW ALSO GOING AHEAD
It will be all go for the Allora Show Society as well which will be holding its show on February 5 and 6. President Mark Pillar said it’s a relief to have finally made a decision.
“There’s a little bit more pressure on us than normal as you’d expect,” he said. “We’ve been sitting out waiting for the rules and regulations to relax a bit before we made the call. “Everyone has been crying out for it because they want to go somewhere and do something.” It’s now a matter of finding the volunteers to make the event feasible.
