The Tamworth Country Music Festival being postponed has seen a lot of questions being fielded as to whether the Nutrien Classic will still proceed.
The Nutrien Classic Sale will still go ahead as planned and operate in line with NSW Health guidelines.
That means the event will look similar to last year with QR code check-ins to enter venues and masks to be worn in the Main Sales Arena. Under NSW Regulations individuals will not be required to be double vaccinated at the event.
Please be sure to keep up to date with any new NSW Regulations as these will be the conditions that the event will be managed under.
We look forward to seeing everyone at AELEC.
