Walkerville Agricultural Society

Ex Terra Vigemus - From the earth we grow

The Walkerville Agricultural Society was established in 1949. We are the custodians of the Walkerville Showground - also known as the Community Center. Our main purpose is to act as the custodians of the property, and to function in such a manner that benefits the greater Walkerville area. We are also the home grounds for many sub-associations e.g. the Tripoli Moth Shell Hole. Walkerville Karate DoJo, Walkerville Speedway Riders, Walkerville Pony Club, and latest addition Walkerville Pool Club. Any group or club that provides a service or membership which is free of charge has the free use of the grounds, e.g. choir practices, literary classes. Any group or club that charges a membership fee for their services pays a nominal rental to the Society, e.g. Weigh-less or dancing classes.

The Community Centre is made up of:

• A large hall which is used for indoor sports and public meetings, and also hired out for weddings and parties.

• A pleasant pub and dining area, open 6 days a week (Tuesday to Sunday), where locals gather to exchange the latest news and catch a breather after a hectic day working in the city, or not so hectic day working on their plots.
The pub hours are generally 11am to 8pm during the week unless there is something happening (e.g. Tuesdays and Thursday are karate night so we stay open later) Sunday strictly close at 7pm unless it is a Speedway Race Day. Fridays and Saturdays about 10pm, again depending on how busy we are. The operating hours are extended during the summer months.

• Several smaller clubhouses used by the various Sub-Associations that occupy the grounds.

• A large arena, suitable for dirt track racing, stabling, sheds, large paddocks, fields and a 4 x 4 track.
