letting it go anytime soon!
New Treasurer and new Councillors The RAS has welcomed a new Treasurer, Dudley Elliott and three inspiring Councillors –
Mary Nenke, Bruce Mullan and Bill Keane.

agriculture in the forefront of industry,
politics, tourism, and diversification. Mary
has successfully linked the country to the

to the annual ‘Farmer on the Plate’ event
held in Forrest Place. She is a committee
member of numerous organisations and sits
on a number of boards.

EntertainmentLet’s go LEGO®Budding builders will revel in the creative,
hands-on fun of the Show’s LEGO® Brick
Zone. From free play and building at
custom-made Lego play tables, kids of
all ages will find plenty of activities to
keep them entertained. There will be daily
Speed Play competitions and great prizes
including Ninjago accessory packs, Chima
3D stickers and Chima character wheels
and LEGO® mascot Max.
Foamy funMischievous Mr Bubble Man is followed
by a cloud of cascading bubbles… and a
crowd of ecstatic children! Up to 15,000
shimmering suds are propelled into the
air every minute via his amazing bubble
factory on wheels.
Titan the RobotThis mechanical marvel wows the crowd
with his cheeky mix of comedy and
street theatre.
The 2.4m metal wonder, dubbed the
largest entertainer on the planet, is back
to strike awe and wonder in his audience.
Never one to be shy, Titan has kicked
soccer balls with fans in Moscow, appeared
with superstars including Rhianna, will.i.am
and JLS, made his presence
known at the Abu
Dhabi FI Grand Prix
and is an all-round
electrifying entertainer!
Pigs might fly!Show rules may not permit any money
exchanging hands, but we bet that
everyone will be all a-flutter as this
spectator sport involving racing and diving
pigs. The crowd will want to stay for the
finale, when two of the porky contestants
climb 2.5 metres and dive into a pool!
What a pairLittle people will love the Bananas In
Pyjamas show, featuring Australia’s
favourite twins. The lovable pair with their
catchphrase, “Are you thinking what I’m
thinking B1?” And the inevitable reply,
“I think I am B2”, will get the crowd going
with their much-loved hit songs and dance
steps. These cheery bananas are a-peeling,
to say the least…
Arena actionWhen it comes to testosterone-fuelled,
adrenalin-pumping performances we have
no doubt your heart rate will accelerate
with the Horsepower display, galloping
twice daily around the Main Arena.
WA’s highly skilled and experienced
FMX and BMX teams and our Eastern
States’ cousins Elijay Freestyle will also
be ramping up the excitement with their
motorcycle and bicycle stunts that
signify danger, suspense and gravity
defying thrills.

IGA - Supporting the CommunityIGA is once again proud to be the naming rights sponsor of the Perth Royal Show. This is the seventh year that IGA has been a strong supporter of Western Australia’s major community event. There are now more than 260 locally owned and operated IGA supermarkets in WA with over one third located in regional areas and so it’s important that we continue our involvement.
The Royal Agricultural Society of WA has
given IGA the Community Partner level of
sponsorship because of its high level of
involvement with the community and its real
partnership with the RAS and
the Show.
This year we will again be selling discounted
tickets in all IGA stores.
At the Show, the IGA Fresh from WA Pavilion
will showcase products from local suppliers
and food producers. The IGA Follow the
Yellow Brick Road show bag will lead
Showgoers on an educational trail around
the Show. Not to mention the IGA Fireworks
Spectacular which keeps everyone
entertained at the end of the day. In addition,
this year we will again be sponsoring the
Kids Cooking Classes in the Farm 2 Food
Pavilion, a fairly new initiative at the Show.
Every year IGA donates more than
$1,000,000 to their local community
organisations through its Community Chest
Fund and other local sponsorships, including
Princess Margaret Hospital, St. Vincent
de Paul Society, WA Breast Cancer Care,
Royal Flying Doctor Service, IGA Carols by
Candlelight, IGA Taste Great Southern in the
South West and Perth Zoo.
From everyone at IGA, we look forward to
this year’s Show being bigger and better
than ever!
