Fees Announcement 10:39 am Sun 15th March 2020
We are all aware of the coronavirus (COVID-19) that is currently causing disruptions, illnesses and some deaths in a number of countries. The VGCA acknowledges that the situation with COVID-19 is rapidly changing and given the raising to pandemic status we will be following the instruction of the Chief Medical Officer and Government. Therefore the GEMBOREE® 2020 has been cancelled. The health, welfare and safety of all who were to attend the event is of paramount importance. Monies paid to the VGCA Inc. for camping, tailgating, trading, dinners and off site fees will be fully refunded. Try Booking payments will be refunded via that site.
Carol Kirby, VGCA Committee, GEMBOREE Hall Manager
Announcement 11:41 pm Sat 14 March 2020
The 2020 GEMBOREE was cancelled as of 14th March 2020.
Recent Federal Government announcements relating to the Covid 19 pandemic and a recommendation to avoid gatherings of 500 or more people, made the final decision unavoidable. Because the GEMBOREE Competition is divided into two parts – “Entries Judged Before the Show” and “Entries Judged at the Show”, a decision also had to be made about the status of the Competition. The “Entries Judged Before the Show” have already been judged, given placings and will be awarded medallions and trophies. Photographs will be taken of the entries in each Section that were awarded a medallion, and then posted on the AFLACA website. Some or all of these photographs could also be displayed on the VGCA website and in the Pointer. All entries, medallions and trophies will be returned to the entrants either by hand or by post over the coming weeks. The “Entries Judged at the Show” can no longer be part of the official competition. Because of the costs associated with returning the nominal entry fee of $5, no entry fees will be returned unless specifically requested by the entrant.
