TENTERFIELD SHOW - 2011

TenterGrafiX has been involved with the Photography section of the Tenterfield Show for the last 6 years. Each and every one of those years has seen a gradual clime in entries. It doesn’t seem to matter if you have a throw-away or a camera with all the bells and whistles - the standard of the photographs has become and remains extremely high. Not bad for a small country town!!

Despite the cancellation of the Stud Cattle, Shearing, Utes and Motorbike events – because of something called A FLOOD .... The Show will go on!

According to the President the show this year will be no different. Two bars, entertainment featuring a range of local acts and showcasing the talent our area has. However, a few programme changes have been made:

* The six-bar jump, to be held late Friday afternoon in front of the Grandstand with big prize money, should be exciting both for jumping enthusiasts and everyone else in the crowd.
* The Tenterfield Fire Brigade demonstrations should also provide a lot of excitement and interest.
* The Prime Cattle Auction is back with The President’s Trophy Young Auctioneers Competition. This will be held Friday 5.30pm at the cattle yards on the Western side of the Showground.
* Dressage has been moved to Saturday at the Miles Street Arena, allowing horse exhibitors to have a go at the event.
* Motor bikes will be held on the Sunday at the Pelham Street bike track, with a BBQ and raffle.
* The new alpaca animal and product expo should interest many show-goers.

All the usual Show attractions are back - dog trials, show hacks, Rodeo on Friday and Saturday nights, plus fireworks Friday, demolition derby Saturday and Campdraft Sunday – all adding to an action packed show for the whole family.

The 134th Show will be on 4, 5 and 6 February at the Tenterfield Showgrounds, Tenterfield.

Fresh Start for The Blog

After a bumpy start to the world of blogging - no time in other words - I have been badgered by persons who shall remain nameless to get my finger out. So here goes AGAIN!

After many years TenterGrafiX has at long last joined the rest of the interlectuals and got themselves a web site http://www.tentergrafix.com.au. We have to say a huge THANK YOU to Andrew Edgar for taking it upon himself to get us up and running; Allen Offer http://www.silviamanzanero.com and Jennie Eriksen http://www.effectivemarketingtenerife.com and various friends around the globe who have sent us constructive words of wisdom and generally encouraged us to keep going with the project. Thank you one and all.

If you haven't been to our website - then it's about time you did! No pressure of course.

One of the things that I did want to see on the website was an Events page - somewhere for us to put information or photos of events that Darryl & Ruth attend or for that matter TenterGrafiX attends. Of course it might only be a little blurb and a few photos, in which case it will be in the Blog. Anyway - it will be somewhere so just keep looking. We can't be everywhere of course and we are bound to miss something (so please forgive us in advance) but the more we can get Tenterfield out there ... well what more can I say.

If you haven't caught up with the 2010 Tenterfield Show hard luck it finished in February - but take a look at the photos and see what you missed! Thank you Andrew http://www.andrewedgar.com/ for the extra fantastic shots. When your lens needs a new home .... :-)

In the mean time - you might be interested in the Borderline Regional Arts Association 'ART TRAIL 2010' - it's been running since 26th February and won't finish until 5th May so there is plenty of time to follow the Bruxner Highway to Tenterfield and out through Sevenlea and Stanthorpe on the New England Highway calling in to 40 different venues to view the exhibiting artists. A must see.

Rotary International - Tenterfield

18th May 2004
Darryl & Ruth Offer were asked to be guest speakers at the Tenterfield branch of Rotary International. Between them they talked about their career changes and the story that led them to Tenterfield and the opening of TenterGrafiX.

On a Role

15th January 2004

"Darryl and Ruth Offer of TenterGrafiX have watched over a kilometre of paper walk out the door in the disguise of 10,807 photographs in the holiday season.

An assortment of pre-Christmas printing requirements and all the Christmas and New Year party photos since, have been responsible for a hectic time at their new store. Darryl and Ruth have thanked all their customers for their patience and say that the normal one hour and same day services are now back to normal.

The couple have already amassed quite a collection of film cannisters and have started to wonder how many they'll have by the time they celebrate their first anniversary as TenterGrafiX in October. They've decided to let their customers have a go at guessing too and will put up a display in the window so they can join in".

In the beginning ...

No job, drought, a mortgage and dwindling spare cash ..... What on earth were we doing getting ourselves involved in opening up a new business and printing photographs - neither of which we had done before!
