Show president Dylan Morris said Thursday night’s crisis meeting was a success, with a few new faces making an appearance and offering their support.
However, he said the show could not go ahead without a secretary.
“We have filled all positions on the committee except for the position of secretary,” Mr Morris said.
“We are looking for someone who is passionate, flexible, great on the phone and creative on the computer, but no show experience is needed.”
Mr Morris said a decision was made at the meeting that the committee would be willing to pay someone to fill the role of secretary depending on allocated finances.
“We really need that special person to come on board to do some of the behind-the-scenes work so the show can push on,” he said.
Mr Morris said he had had great feedback from the Nathalia community, with people volunteering to help clean up at the show and assist to run different events.
“A few sections of the show are looking very good,” he said.
“We are looking to have a successful cattle show, we have a Lego group and Lego competition planning to go ahead as well as a 75-year celebration for Harry Ferguson tractors.”
The show has received $10,000 in government grants as part of the COVID-19 event cancellation grant program.
Meetings for the Nathalia Agricultural Show are now held on the first Wednesday of every month at the Nathalia Guild Hall.
