Clermont Rodeo
Clermont Rodeo asks that you please place all rubbish in the skip bins provided so crows do not make a mess of the grounds. Competitors will need to show ID to gain free entry. No ID means you do not get free entry. Please adhere to the committee’s requests so we can enjoy Clermont Rodeo for years to come!

01-March-19
PAYING LEVIES AT RODEOS
Paying the levy portion of an entry fee at a rodeo is not allowed. If a competitor is unable to compete they may have someone pay their FULL entry fee for them to avoid a turnout fee. Only exception is if on the day, a judge agrees to a visual turnout due to injury. The contestant will then only be liable for the APRA and committee levies plus GST if applicable.

28-February-19
OFFICE CLOSED
Head Office will be closed Friday, 22nd March 2019 due to the Warwick Show Holiday.
