In a week's time, the Bombala Exhibition Society will hold what could be the most important meeting in the 150-year history of the Bombala Show.

The society is at a crossroads. Six of the show's most important roles still need to be filled, including those of president, treasurer and secretary.

At the society's annual general meeting (AGM) in September, these positions were left vacant along with co-ordinators of sponsorship, events and exhibitor stalls.

Hardworking society president, Sophie Campbell, stepped down from the role at the AGM. Mrs Campbell has also served as the Group 6 president. She said many shows in the south east, including Bombala, are in urgent need of new faces.

"As I've been flagging for a few years now, all our local shows are struggling to attract new volunteers and committee members in 2025," Mrs Campbell said.

"Many of our local shows are at risk of complete failure as a result.

"Sadly, our wonderful volunteers were unable to fill enough executive positions at the Bombala Exhibition Society Inc’s AGM, which has now placed a big question mark over the future of our beloved annual Bombala Show."

The society will meet at the exhibition ground at 7pm on Wednesday, 15 October to try and fill these key positions.

The Bombala Show has been running for 150 years and is the largest event on the town's calendar.
