Thanks to the commitment and vision of the Clare Sports Club committee, the idea has evolved from a casual conversation 18 months ago into a fully‑fledged community celebration. With strong local support, stakeholder involvement, and valued sponsorships, this exciting event is now a reality.
The 2025 program will feature both a Bikekhana and a Gymkhana, bringing a unique blend of tradition and innovation to the Clare community. Competitors and spectators alike can expect an atmosphere of excitement, filled with friendly competition and plenty of country spirit. Registration for bikekhana and gymkhana events are closing on the 25th September so jump onto the Facebook page to scan the qr codes for registration, it’s only $35 to enter for the day.
For those who prefer to join in the fun without competing, novelty events will provide entertainment and opportunities for connection as the day winds down into the evening. For those wishing to mix the excitement of watching competitors and shopping there will be an array of stalls available on the day that cater for all.
Located just 130 km from Balranald on the sealed Ivanhoe‑Balranald Road NSW (MR67), Clare Hall is easily accessible for all visitors.
Food and refreshments will be available throughout the day, provided by dedicated volunteers and proudly sponsored by Tronox Mining Company.
The evening will conclude with a hearty roast dinner buffet and live entertainment by DJ Ash from Phoenix Entertainment, proudly supported by Iluka Mining Resources.
