I familiarised myself where some of the services and facilities were located. The hospital on top of the hill with the landmark Water Tower (every town has one with their name on it) and there is also the Heli Pad for the Hospital / Emergency Services.
Just down the hill from there is the Agricultural Society's (showground) Fair Grounds. The society was established in 1855 and a bronze plaque adorns one of the entrance gateposts lays testament to that fact. Being actively involved with the Agricultural Society in Crookwell this was definitely a place of interest with a pang of disappointment.
The facilities on the ground are very modern but there are only a few to talk of.
Megan attended the last fair and had warned me that it is barely comparable to that of the Crookwell Show or most other Ag Shows.
I'd be guessing but I think the larger building in the picture above is conjointly used seasonally by the Ag Society and the Curling Club and hired for other occasions.
Across the road is the Meaford and St. Vincent Community Centre. Whilst it is known as the Arena because it has Ice Hockey and Ice Skating, it also has a sign relating to Dancing. So it is a multi-purpose building.
