FROM THE PAST
One Hundred and Fifty Years Ago 1868
In 1868, HRH Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, following the very successful visit to the Show the previous year, accepted
the role of Patron of the Society.
One Hundred Years Ago 1918
During the Autumn Show in March, a sawing (cross cut) contest was included in the log chopping events. It was won
by C R Williams and J Stacey of Stirling. The log chopping was for the State Championship and was won by A W Figg
who won both the vertical and horizontal events. Mr Schwerdt tossed his sheaf 37 feet to win that event and the public
schools displays were a feature of the show, with the Murray Bridge entry outstanding.
There were a record number of entries for the Livestock Show in September and it was described as the best all round
show held in Adelaide. On the first day machinery, dairy produce, industries and manufactures and horses-in-action
were on show, and the displays of draught stock, cattle, sheep and pigs was described as outstanding.
Fifty Years Ago 1968
Main arena events included The American Bell Rocket Team, show jumping team selected to represent Australia
at the Mexico Olympic Games (RA&HS Councillor, Jack Walsh was elected manager of this team, and of the team
chosen to compete in the three-day trials at the Games) and a massed dog obedience clubs display. Other events
were a polocrosse match, parade and “gallop” by greyhounds and racing Afghan hounds, parade of racing cars
and precision driving, bands, a long kicking championship (football), trotting events, fireworks, and a hovercraft
demonstration.
An outstanding display of Poll Hereford cattle was a dominant feature of the Beef Cattle section, and for the first time
classes for Santa Gertrudis were introduced. There was strong competition from interstate exhibitors in the British Breeds
in the Sheep section.
The guest speaker at the Official Luncheon was Mr Doug Anthony, the Federal Minister for Primary Industry.
Twenty Five Years Ago 1993
WHAT’S HOT
1993 saw Jock Duncan’s first year as President, a position which he held for a total of eleven years.
The newly constructed milking dairy was officially opened by the Minister for Primary Industries, the Hon. Terry Groom
LLB on 25 August 1993.
Pig racing and log rolling were held for the first time in the western entertainment area.
New offices were constructed for the Stud Stock section underneath the Heavy Horse Memorial Clubrooms. The Stud
Stock section continues to provide secretarial services to 21 stud breed societies and the Agricultural Societies Council
of South Australia.
During the year, 94 events were held and attended by an estimated 1.85 million patrons.
