250g (8 oz.) chopped raisins 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg

250g (8 oz.) currants 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

125g (4 oz.) chopped mixed peel 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves

90g (3 oz.) chopped red glace cherries 250g (8 oz.) butter

1/3 cup sherry or brandy 250g (8 oz.) plain flour

1/2 teaspoon lemon essence or finely grated lemon rind 4 large eggs

HISTORY OF DAPTO SHOWGROUND

On Sunday 8th November 1856, a public meeting was called at George Brown’s Illawarra Hotel in

Dapto for all persons in favour of forming an Agricultural & Horticultural (A&H) Society in Dapto.

At the meeting it was decided that the “The Dapto Agricultural and Horticultural Society” be

formed. David Irving was elected President, John Brown was elected Secretary and a committee of

a further twenty one gentlemen formed the committee.

The first Dapto Show was held on Wednesday 28th January 1857 and was deemed a success

despite the fact that at the time farmers in the area where shifting production from Wheat to

Dairy due to the outbreak of disease rust.

As Dapto’s population increased, a train station was built in 1887 and the township of Dapto

formed around it. In the early 20th century, Patrick Hill Osborne donated 10 acres to the Dapto

A&H Society close to the centre of the growing township. The land grant was described as “level,

but raised, and has good drainage, which will keep it dry in the wettest of weather.” This is where

the Showground is still situated today.

During the early 1900’s the Society hosted many events including a Juvenile Ball. The Juvenile Ball

has since become non-existent and the Society, like many others in NSW now conducts a Miss

Showgirl Competition. The Dapto A&H Society has only had one Zone Finalist represent the Society

at Royal level, Renee Campbell (nee Buhagiar) in 1996.

In late 1936 the Society was offered a licence to conduct greyhound racing at the Showground.

This largely came about due to the Society, like many other Societies in NSW at the time, having

financial difficulties. The Committee believed that by conducting greyhound race meetings at the

showground it would assist to reduce the financial problems the Society had encountered.

Not long after in mid-1937 the Dapto Greyhound Racing Club was formed and greyhound racing

began on a grass track. The track remained grass until late 1991, when Dapto became one of the

first Greyhound racing tracks to become Loam. In 2006, the Club underwent further renovations

when a brand new track was built.

On the morning of Saturday 6th July 1991, the Secretary Mr Bill Dwyer (whom was living on the

Showground property at the time) was awoken by a loud explosion. He looked outside the window

to see the front office buildings on fire (the land on which McDonalds now stands). It is believed

the fire was lit under suspicious circumstances. Luckily the safe in which the minutes and

important records were kept survived with only a few documents damaged.

A transportable building was sourced from Walden at Port Kembla and until this was built the staff

set up a temporary office in the tote building.

In 1993, a new office building the main bar area was built. The office block and bar area is still in

use today, with an extension of the main bar area completed in June 2006.

Presently the Dapto A&H committee consists of twenty men and women who come from many

different backgrounds and all bring unique qualities and ideas to form the Dapto A&H Society.

The town has over the past 150 years changed significantly with farms sold off slowly to allow for

residential homes to be built. This has meant that the Society has had to continually reinvent itself

to cater for the needs of the local community, for example cattle was once a main focus of the

show but without local farms this event was dropped years ago. The showground now attracts

more sporting events and a variety of local community organisations utilise the grounds and

facilities for communal events.

Dapto is now one of the largest suburbs in the Illawarra and continues to grow rapidly with a

population of approx. 15,000 people.
