As soon as the gates opened about 3pm, fans were rolling into the grounds to get prime position on the viewing platforms surrounding the arena.

It was beautiful weather in which to watch the action, which continued through the afternoon and into the evening under lights.

People came in their best country gear for a full schedule of entertainment, and also made the most of refreshment and trade stands.
