Robertson Show Society held its 2nd Showgirl Competition for only the second time since 1979. The Show's Centenary Year was the impetus for the first Competition and attracted nine entrants, the winner being Miss Rosalind Bresnehan, a local Avoca girl, who subsequently went on to compete at The Sydney Royal and gained 2nd place in the State.
There were four entrants, Miss Gemma Small from Albion Park, sisters Amy-Kate Tilley and Cathleen Tilley from Robertson, and Bronwyn Turner, also from Robertson. |

he girls were presented at the Show Ball in February, and the winner announced at the Opening of the Robertson Show.
The Committee was delighted to be able to invite Rosalind (complete with Robertson 1979 Showgirl and the Royal Easter Showgirl ribbons) to sash the winner, Amy-Kate, and Cathleen as runner up. In her address to the crowd, Rosalind claimed to be the longest running Showgirl and there would be very few, brave souls who would dispute this.
Amy-Kate will represent Robertson in the Zone Finals at Albion Park in February 2009, and the Society wishes her the best of luck in her quest.
