The Red Rooster All Australian Jamboree was the dream of Sandra Smith on a drive home from a Country Music Festival where very fewAustralian composed songs had been sung. The Jamboree has a great family friendly atmosphere in the old Barn over three days and nights at the Charters Towers Showgrounds, coodinated by the Gold City Country Music Club.

20th RED ROOSTER ALL AUSTRALIAN JAMBOREE

Next year will be the 20th year for the All Austalian Jamboree and it will be held on 22nd, 23rd & 24th April 2011 so there will be celebrations and extra prizes over the weekend. Another thing to take note of is the fact that this is Easter weekend so plan to start the weekend on Good Friday with the Gospel Sections followed by Judges Gospel Concert. We also plan to bring back some of the extraordinary things or acts that have happened during that 20 years.

So don't forget and start planning to come to the Charters Towers All Australian Jamboree on the 22nd, 23rd & 24th April 2011 and stay for the "Ten Days in the Towers". Lots of fun. Lots to do.

WINNERS WITH MAJOR SPONSORS - Gary & Rhonda Richards (Charters Towers Red Rooster), Shaun Duffin (Charters Towers Country Music Inc), Robyn Lavery & Donna-Marie Adlard (Kahlita Moods)

ROUND UP OF 2010 RED ROOSTER ALL AUSTRALIAN JAMBOREE

The 2010 Red Rooster All Australian Jamboree was held in the country atmosphere of the Barn, Charters Towers Showgrounds decorated with branches of gum trees so the smell of the Bush permeated the hall. We enjoyed lovely sunny weather so an enjoyable weekend was had.




Gold City Country Music Club Inc. was very pleased to welcome new Major Sponors in Rhonda & Gary Richards from Charters Towers Red Rooster. It is wonderful to have such supported sponsors come on board. Thank you Gary & Rhonda. Your sponsorship will make a difference to the All Australian Festival and will help it grow into the future.



Once again, BHP Billiton Cannington Mine sponsored our Junior Competition. They interest in the development and future of the junior artists coming along is a wonderful thing. We thank them for their support ,as do all the junior singers do too.



Charters Towers Country Music Inc. , once again, sponsored the Major Prizemoney and very generously allow us to use the Barn, their music gear, the table and chairs all at no cost. Our Grand Overall Winner, Kahlita Moods, received a spot on Friday Night of their Festival, Charters Towers Country Music Festival, to strut their stuff. Without this support, our task of running the Red Rooster All Australian Jamboree would be much harder. Thank you to this Committee for your support.



Lots of fun and laughter was had by all and we look forward to next year to do it all over again but with a big difference because 2011 will be the 20th All Australian Jamboree so there will be lots of celebration and prizes on offer.
