Boys and Girls Ag Day

Boys and Girls Ag Day
It’s an annual tradition which takes place the week after the Show; the 2011 Boys and Girls Agricultural Club Championship Day will take place at Canterbury Agricultural Park at 10am on Thursday 17 November.
Organised by the Canterbury A&P Association and sponsored by Synlait Milk Ltd, the Championship Day takes the form of a mini A&P Show, giving outlying Canterbury Primary Schools the opportunity to compete in livestock judging, similar to what they would experience at an A&P Show.
To qualify for the Championships, entrants had to have attended a school pet day within their area.
Students will be judged across three sections: Care and Attention, Leading and Handling and their Project Book which was submitted prior to the Canterbury A&P Show.
Classes include Beef Calves, Goats, Dairy Calves and Lambs. The classes will be split into two age groups, Juniors (years 1-4) and Seniors (years 5-8).
The media are welcome to attend; judging starts at 10am, with the prize giving held at the conclusion of the judging (approximately 11am).
Canterbury Agricultural Park is a 145 hectare purpose built Show facility and the home of the annual Canterbury A&P Show.
The Canterbury A&P Association will host its 150th Show on Wednesday 14 to Friday 16 November 2012.
