Alice Spring Show had to be canceled. 13 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,600 Speaker 1: How are we looking for Catherine. 14 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: Catherine is going ahead. 15 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Woo. 16 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 2: We've been very very happy with that. We've actually never 17 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 2: stopped planning for the show to go ahead. Of course, 18 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: we held our breath a little bit for all of there, 19 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: but we were lucky enough that the COVID didn't actually 20 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: come down into our area, so we had no lockdowns 21 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: or things like that in Catherine. Of course, we still 22 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 2: actually recommend everyone follow the COVID rule as much as possible. 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: But yet the Captain Show is going ahead. We've got 24 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 2: lots and lots there for people. There's going to be 25 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 2: a few things that are going to be missing. Unfortunately, 26 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: some of the sites people had to cancel because of 27 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:23,679 Speaker 2: the fact that they couldn't get out of the COVID areas. 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 2: But you know, we're going to have the main things there. 29 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 2: We're going to have a lot of entertainment still, We're 30 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: going to still be having Si show Ali. So yes, 31 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 2: they are rides companies and which is great for the 32 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 2: showman skill because they have been suffering coping chronic in 33 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: the last year and a half, so it'd be nice 34 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: for them to be able to be able to come 35 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 2: up and do things as they normally did so and 36 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: of course the Captain Show has got the Big Gate 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 2: Prize that was kindly donated to us by our local 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: Rod and Rifle. And yes, yeah, it's all a liter 39 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 2: Engle fridge. 40 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: Oh wonderful. And Kathy, it is a fantastic show. I 41 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: was at the Catherine Show a couple of years ago 42 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: broadcasting out there and it's such a great event. So 43 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: that decision was made to make sure that it still 44 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: continues to happen. You made that decision this morning, didn't you. 45 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: Yes, actually no, we actually have never made a decision 46 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 2: to stop. So I can't say we made that decision 47 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 2: this morning. We waited until the lockdown finished in both 48 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 2: Darwin and Maine and a ye, but yeah, no, we've 49 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,959 Speaker 2: never really said to the show's not going to happen. 50 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: We were always cautious, of course, and we tell people 51 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 2: that the show is to go ahead as far as 52 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 2: we're concerned, unless we get officially told by the anti 53 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 2: government or the health department that we can't have it. 54 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: We've never really. 55 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 1: Know it's thought on you because we know that those 56 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: local shows, they they you know, they do a lot 57 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: for the community, and not only that, but in terms 58 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: of keeping the economy moving as well. And I know 59 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: that you'd said just a little while ago, and we did. 60 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: We did sort of head down to Catherine last week 61 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 1: for a chat with the mayor and we know that 62 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: you guys weren't in the same sort of situation as 63 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: us when it comes to that lockdown. But we know 64 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: that the show is is. It means a lot to 65 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,519 Speaker 1: the community in a lot of different ways. 66 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 2: You're not kidding there, Like last year we did a 67 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 2: virtual show for the first time ever and it was 68 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,080 Speaker 2: extremely successful. But you know, and it's worth comes to 69 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: scenario we would have done another virtual show again this year, yep, 70 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: but we're pleased to say we don't have to, so 71 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 2: you know, it come through that. We really do try 72 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 2: and promote people to do pre sales of tickets so 73 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 2: that you know they don't have to be there and 74 00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: lining up and you know that's where you get those 75 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 2: people mingled together. So we're going to have all that 76 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: restrictions of being a meter apart when they did a lineup, 77 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 2: So if you've got pre books bought tickets, it's just 78 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: simply sailing right through the gate, so you don't have 79 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 2: to worry about yeah, all of that sort of stuff. 80 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 2: So that makes it a lot lot easier and hopefully 81 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 2: more convenient. Yeah, and of course we're going to have 82 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: the areas spread out a little bit more like in 83 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 2: the food courts. The tables aren't going to be crammed 84 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: in together. It's going to be a lot bigger, so 85 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 2: you've got that sort of separation. And yeah, we're just 86 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: asking people to be sensible and come along and enjoy 87 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 2: the show. 88 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,320 Speaker 1: Oh good stuff. Well, and I know that there'll be 89 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 1: people from Darwin heading to Catherine for the event. It's 90 00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,720 Speaker 1: all happening the sixteenth and seventeenth of July, isn't it. 91 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 2: It certainly is mo Lovely and you know we're hoping 92 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: to have a big, big show, but you know, like everything, 93 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,239 Speaker 2: we just hold our breath and wait until that very moment. 94 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 2: But ye come on and enjoy the best show in 95 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 2: the Northern Territory. 96 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: I love it.

We were broadcasting down there. 102 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 1: It is awesome. We did the week that was from 103 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: there and everything I believe. On that day we had 104 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: Gary Higgins, Natasha Files and I reckon we had Faye 105 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,719 Speaker 1: Miller do it as well. It was a really good 106 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: morning and beautiful weather. If you haven't been there, it's 107 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: probably worth the trekdown, even if if you've got little 108 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: eas you know, if you're there for the weekend, I 109 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: know it's probably hard to find accommodation at this point, 110 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: but I always reckon, it's great to see all of 111 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: the all of the Northern Territory. And try your best 112 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 1: to travel around a little bit if you can, and 113 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 1: if it's sort of safe for you to do so.
