“(It was) just a magnificent day for all involved, much gratitude to the wonderful MOVE team and volunteers who worked tirelessly to ensure the event was a success,“ executive officer Jim Andreadis said.

“(It was) a brilliant day for not only MOVE but the Greater Shepparton community, to have visitors from all over Australia was truly wonderful.”

Scrutineering and pre-judging for two days at Shepparton Showgrounds preceded the event, as did a welcome function at The Woolshed on the Friday night.
