Three ladies who have given more than 150 years in combined service to the Eugowra Show have been honoured with life membership at a wonderful 2024 event.

Shirley Heinzell, Daphne Thompson and Judy Smith were acknowledged at the official opening on Saturday, by President Sean Haynes.

"When we think about volunteers and the importance of being able to hold a successful show, the ladies that we have in front of us are a testament to that ongoing dedication and service that they have provided to the Eugowra Show Society," Mr Haynes said.

With involvement in the show dating back to 1958, Mr Haynes said between them the three had given more than 150 years of volunteer service to make the annual event the wonderful community show that it is.

"The roles they have held over their time of involvement include stewards and chief steward for various pavilion sections including art, flowers, junior art and needlework through to being assistant secretaries and overseeing show publicity," Mr Haynes said.

The humble recipients acknowledged their surprise at the honour and said it was a privilege to be involved.

"It's so good that everyone comes back each year. thank everyone for supporting the show," Mrs Smith said.

"It's wonderful to see the look on children's faces when they come and see their exhibits."
