New Dates for Small Acreage Field Days

 

The Rotary Small Acreage Field Days (SAFD), which had to be postponed earlier this year due to the COVID virus, have been re-scheduled for the weekend of 13 & 14 March 2021 at Echunga.

 

The idea of a field day is designed to provide people who live on small acreage with information on products, services and practical demonstrations. A great deal of interest was generated earlier this year and it is very unfortunate that it had to be postponed. 

 

The Rotary Club of Stirling is pleased to announce that planning has re-commenced for the 2021 event and early notice to ‘save the dates’ is being sent out to businesses, government agencies and the broader community.

 

The President of the Rotary Club of Stirling, Neil Wickens, believes that, as we emerge from the COVID experience, the community is looking forward to getting back to some normality and, although still some months away, the Small Acreage Field Days will play an important role in that recovery. 

 

Work is now underway on the planning and we have again engaged with the local community in Echunga to partner with us in this event. 

 

Feedback on the proposed event earlier this year from the State Government, local councils, community groups and the business community has been very positive. 

 

It is clear to us that the SAFD could become a major annual event in the broader Hills district as we were able to attract sponsor and exhibitor support not only from the immediate Hills area but also from further afield such as Strathalbyn, Monarto, Murray Bridge, Mount Pleasant and the Fleurieu. Our aim is to broaden the ‘catchment area’ for the 2021 event.
