1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Alpacker judge and competitions, lawn mower racing, sheep and equestrian events.

2
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: Christ Church Show is back this week, but smaller. They

3
00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: have one hundred thousand visitors last year, expecting sixty thousand

4
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:16,520
Speaker 1: this year. But it's still an amazing feat for Anderson's

5
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 1: event high christ Church Show event director Phil thanks for

6
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,240
Speaker 1: being with me. It's quite a rabbit you've pulled out

7
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: of the hat here to get this all together.

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. Sure has been, specially for the last three months,

9
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 2: which is yeah, the time we've had, which is usually

10
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 2: a year to organize such an event. So yeah, still

11
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: such an oppressive lineup and the look and feel of

12
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: a normal AMP show. So yeah, we're so excited because.

13
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: It was going. I mean it was basically off, wasn't it.

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 1: And you guys came in and you're doing a bit

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: of a rescue job here.

16
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, basically we said can't be done. A new board

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: came in and they went, I reckon, you guys are right,

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 2: let's make something happen here, and yeah, it all just

19
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: flowed from there, which we are so grateful for.

20
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: How many events have you got your How big will

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: the turnout be? I know that the numbers are about

22
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: sixty thousand they're expecting. But in terms of the trade stores,

23
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: et cetera, compared to last year.

24
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, trade there is probably about thirty forty percent lease.

25
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: But in terms of everything else around the AMP show

26
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: experience much the same, if not more. Maybe entertainment or

27
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 2: a real good mix of entertainment like lawnmar racing. Never

28
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: seen it so excited, you know, that just seems so unusual,

29
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 2: and I just think there'll be it's like that a

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: part of the show that people are just going to

31
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 2: really go what a core experience.

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: Hey, do you guys make money out of something like this?

33
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: Phil? The aim is too, but yeah, not a lot though,

34
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: to be fear, there's a lot of costs associated with

35
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 2: this event, especially you know when we consider the other

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 2: events that we do, this thing's very heavy in terms

37
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 2: of the cost. Is so much infrastructure that goes into

38
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 2: this that's been such a massive learning curve.

39
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: Good on you're for getting it done in such a

40
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: quick amount of time. Phil, I really appreciate you coming
