"The Agricultural Societies Council of NSW has met on Monday to discuss the implications on shows of the Order under Section 7 of the Public Health Act 2010 to force immediate cancellation of public events with more than 500 people in response to the COVID-19.
"Tim Capp, President of the ASC of NSW stresses the importance that all shows for the foreseeable future follow the directive. Our recommendation is that all agricultural shows and show related activities do not proceed.
