Hi, Melissa

We are still looking for bands for 30th Sept, in Monto, though not with a lot of luck, I'm afraid. ARC is happy to assist with any shows kids are allowed in to. It doesn't matter that part of the venue might be licensed. In fact, that helps to underwrite costs and offers a larger group of people to draw from, so we think it's a good thing.
Staging a performance in a showground is a very ambitious and expensive exercise. Do you have a budget, at all? If you do, that's great and we will help if we can ... but ARC is not in a financial position to underwrite a showground size show, right at the moment. Maybe sometime down the track we'll have a fund big enough to do that.
In the interim, is there not an indoor venue that we could look to fill, so that shows can break even or show a bit of a return, with less risk?

Let me know yr thoughts.

all the best
