Let's take over the Ekka!
Posted August 3rd, 2010 by debritz
Attention Brisbane readers: If you think the annual Exhibition could be better, here's your chance to make it happen. As I said on the Spencer Howson program on 612ABC this morning, some years ago a few friends of mine decided that they could take over the local bowls club if enough of them joined up and created a voting bloc at the annual general meeting and rolled the office bearers. I speculated whether membership of the RNA would give you the same power over the Ekka. The answer, according to a caller off-air, is yes. So if you've got a big enough beef about the agricultural show, and you have enough like-minded friends, you could soon be running it!


Would that entail buying a chambray shirt and a flat hat?
Good idea... I wonder if we can also stack the deck within Brisbane Major Festivals?
Maybe then, the Brisbane Festival can become the people's event...
Sadly, BMF is not a democracy.
