Perth Royal Show 2010

It’s on again.

The Perth Royal Show began at the Claremont Showgrounds on Saturday and runs until this Saturday the 2nd of October.

The Perth Royal Show is Perth’s biggest community event attracting 400 000 visitors from the city and the country every year. It has a history spanning over 170 years and serves to showcase WA agriculture, small business and entertainment.

An interesting element of this year’s show is that it’ll be smoke free for the second year. Smokers will have one area within the showgrounds where they can light up while the rest of the event will be free of second hand cigarette smoke. It’s a great move forward.

98.5 Sonshine FM is broadcasting live from the show each day.

I’m really looking forward to presenting my morning programme, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., from the show each day this week as well as hosting this Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

I’ll have a range of interesting guests and will probably get involved in some weird situations.

If you’re thinking of heading to the show this year, make sure you drop in to our broadcast centre and say hello. We’re be overlooking the main arena in a direct line from the train station entry.

Broadcasting from the show instead of our Como studios will almost double the distance I’ll have to cycle which will be great training for our cancer ride coming up in November.
