ABEE 2009 a big success
27 July 2009
This year’s Australian Business Events Expo (22/23 July) was a great success for Sydney Showground.
The newly designed stand, topped with a replica Dome, looked brilliant and was a talking point for many Expo attendees.
Our mini cupcakes and award winning cheese, olives and wine, as well as mini mondo grass (to help you ‘grow your event’) were highly praised by everyone who came to the stand.
The Taste Kitchen Show was excellent and it looked as if we drew the largest crowd of the expo, no doubt due to the pulling power of Lyndey Milan and Tim Browne, Executive Chef at Sydney Showground.
We hope every visitor at ABEE had two successful days at the show.

Earth Hour 2009
24 March 2009
The Royal Agricultural Society of NSW (RAS) has again registered to take part in Earth Hour 2009 as part of its ongoing commitment to the environment and adopting more environmentally friendly practices.
On Saturday 28 March at 8.30pm almost all lights are turned out in the RAS Administration building and across the Sydney Showground site. Some lights will have to remain on due to the Sydney Royal Easter Show preparations that are underway with the show just 2 weeks away, but the RAS has organised to plant trees to offset this energy usage.
Earth Hour is a fantastic initiative that draws attention to the issue of climate change and global warming. The RAS is proud to be involved and encourages all staff to participate and turn their lights off at home during the event.
