Our Committee

Without the unstinting support and hard work of our staff and Committee, the Association would cease to be a viable entity. Please see below for a complete listing of our current Committee members.

Like all great agricultural shows, the Hawkesbury Distict Agricultural Association has a long history, and is driven by a dedicated team of volunteers. Currently headed by President, Mrs Lyn Hudson working alongside Deputy Mr Phillip Close and Treasurer, Mr Ken Ridge, the HDAA celebrated 178 years in 2023.

As prepartions for next year’s show continues the President and Committee wish to thank sponsors, supporters, commercial trades and exhibitors for their ongoing commitment to the Hawkesbury.
