On the 21st of January 2023 spectators at the 125th Golden Bay A&P Show were able to sit in the grandstand and watch the show without having to climb up a ladder.
Not quite finished but useable and looking stunning, the grandstand stood strong and sound again and echoed with the cheers of the spectators taking in the sights of a very successful show.
After the Grand Parade, the Show was officially declared open by Tasman District Council Mayor Tim King and then together Hazel Pearson and Tim King officially opened the grandstand. See link below for the great TVNZ coverage of the event:
