Attention,

RE: WINGHAM BEEF WEEK 2011
To whom it may concern,
Wingham Beef Week 2011 Committee is pleased to announce that Wingham Beef Week will be on again
from 16th to the 21st May 2011.
I am writing this letter to inform you of the excellent educational
opportunities this show could offer your students and would like to invite your school to participate in this
event. Please find enclosed initial information regarding Wingham Beef Week 2011.
As a result of the strong association with our major sponsor, Wingham Beef Exports, your students will be
able to compete in a full “Hoof & Hook” carcass appraisal competition. In our Junior Judging component,
students will assess not only live animals, but will follow these animals, plus animals from other market
categories, right through to the chiller room floor, where a carcass appraisal competition will take place. In
addition to this, students compete in a Beef Appreciation competition where they will judge both retail and
primal cuts, as well as a visual assessment of their own school carcass. Certainly a unique “Paddock to
Plate” experience. From a Senior and Junior Syllabus perspective many of the course objectives are
covered with these activities, especially the Senior Product Study.
If you are interested, but do not anticipate having a suitable animal for next year, you would still be more
than welcome to compete in the Judging, Parading, Beef Appreciation and educational activities. Extra
parading animals can be made available if this is the case. For further details contact myself or the
Wingham Beef Week Secretary by simply posting or faxing the enclosed Expression of Interest form by
Friday 4th February 2011 (T1W2) if not before. A full program with entry forms will then be sent to you in
March, with entries closing on Monday 2nd May 2011.
Note: Schools who have previously competed/attended must still return their expression of interest
form stating approximate numbers of animals and students they intend to bring.
Looking forward to meeting you all in May,
Sincerely,
Charlie Cassels,
Vice President
