Melbourne Royal Show
Hi Guys,
Further to our conversation. The Melbourne Royal show committee has made a decision not to refund Royal Show membership fees. Upon speaking to an RAS Councillor this morning, the only way this can be overturned is if the members send in letters or email the CEO (on email address below) indicating that the only reason for taking out the membership was because of the savings on entry fees and that we were intending to compete. Further, now that the horse events have been cancelled we are not intending to go and this is a very big outlay which has no value now. Adelaide Royal have made a similar decision in relation to cancelling their horse events. They have agreed to reimburse all entry and stabling fees paid. They have also agreed to reimburse membership fees providing they receive the members passes prior to the commencement of the show.
It may also be a good idea to let them know that a lot of us have purchased multiple passes because of family members accompanying us to the show not just a single pass.
With all the expenses we have these days if we can save a few dollars then why shouldn't we, given that we are all not now going to the show. We can let them know in our correspondence that we have all outlaid thousands of dollars in preparing our horses to this point ready to go to the show. We've all had them in and stabled for the last 3 months being fed, rugged worked, lights on. This all costs us money and I don't think they appreciate the time and money we have all outlaid to this point and it is through no fault of anyone in this state that the events have been cancelled.
It may also be of benefit to add that we have supported Melbourne Royal for many years and maybe it is time that they supported us during this time of crisis. they can show their support by offering to reimburse our membership fees if we aren't attending the royal show.
