The Goulburn and Surrounds Committee covers an area of the South Tablelands between Sutton, Gunning & Windellama in the South and West, Penrose and Wingello in the North East, Marulan, Goulburn, Crookwell and Taralga in the north.

The main fund raising events are engaging with the 25 State and Child care Centres in area, by asking them to be involved in the Annual Jeans for Genes Day – the first Friday of August each year, and more recently the Taralga Fun Ferret Races held at the Taralga Sports Club each October.

In 2024, Caroline and Simon repeated the Jeans for Genes School donation program on the 2^nd of August and added, on the 3^rd of August, a Line Dancing Event at the Taralga Church Hall which was a hoot and will be repeated in 2025.

The hugely successful Taralga Fun Ferret Races was held for the third year on the 12th of October at the Taralga Sports Club.

Our Race Sponsors in 2024 were:

Race 1 – Taralga Rural

Race 2 – Ken Croker Constructions

Race 3 – First Choice Earthworks

Race 4 – Jigsaw Tax and Advisory

Race 5 – Nutrien Ag Solutions

Race 6 – THE FINAL – Aaron Grant Electrical and Airconditioning.

Thank you so much to our Sponsors.

Overall we grossed income for the Committee of some $4,000 from this event, so we are very pleased with that result.

Thank you the Sponsors, Barry McEntee of First National Real Estate Goulburn for being our Auctioneer, all the guests from Taralga, Crookwell, Canberra, Goulburn and Sydney and the Taralga Sports Club for providing the venue and making us all welcome. More fun in 2025.
