Online Entry

Welcome to the 2017 Mount Gambier Easter Festival

I will start by talking about dogs. ALL DOGS MUST BE ON A LEAD AT ALL TIMES. ALL DOG MANURE MUST BE PICKED UP. NO DOGS ON THE FOOTBALL OVAL. By entering this event you are accepting these terms and conditions.

If you use internet banking, please use Polipay when you are paying for your entries. This is a very simple process and makes my job easier.

Now on a happier note. We will be having our 3 course Good Friday dinner in the cycling clubrooms. This is a great social way to kick off the show and we hope to see you all there.

Bob will again have the South Gambier Footy clubrooms open on Saturday and Sunday (no he still hasn't retired) for drinks and TAB all afternoon and dinner both nights. We would love to see as many people there as possible supporting the footy club as with out the use of their grounds we would be unable to run this fabulous event.

The Calcutta will run on Sunday night on the Blue Lake Stakes Future Stars class. Please see the following

2017 Calcutta
The Calcutta has long been a tradition that has assisted us to build and maintain the jumping equipment that we see here today. Unfortunately, it has not always been within the possibilities for everyone to participate. This year in our 35th year of Easter Carnivals, we are pleased to offer the opportunity for all to participate, have some fun and at the same time support the club and this event.

To enable everyone to join this activity we are offering two options.

OPTION 1 - Calcutta 1. Conducted on Saturday night at the South Gambier Football Club Dining Hall. 2. Groups of 2-3 horses will be put together by selected personnel and made available on each table in the dining hall. 3. An auction will be conducted on each group with the highest bidder winning that group. 4. The person who has won the group that contains the class winner will take home the prize. This will be a winner take all prize, with no second or third placing. Please note that the prize will consist of 50% of the auction’s takings. The remaining 50% will go to supporting the club.
OPTION 2 – Raffle 1. You may purchase raffle tickets at $1.00 per ticket. 2. At the end of the auction, the raffle tickets will be drawn. 3. The owner of the first ticket drawn will have the choice of all the groups to put their name on. The owner of the second ticket drawn will have the choice of the remaining groups to put their name on. This will continue until all groups have been allocated. 4. As with OPTION 1, the person who has the group with the class winner will take home the prize and again a winner take all prize. Please note that the prize pool will consist of 80% of the total takings from the raffle tickets. The remaining 20% will go to supporting the club.

Please remember this is a fundraising activity for our club and is also about all being able to have an interest & some fun.
