There are no waste collections on Christmas Day - collections will occur the day after the usual schedule for this week until Saturday.
Next date: Saturday, 01 March 2025 | 08:00 AM to 04:30 PM
The Championships are open for all ages and skill levels. Competitors are provided with a bucket containing a set number of gold flakes. The time taken to pan off and recover the gold flakes is recorded. The panners with the fastest adjusted time advance to the finals for each major category. Trophies are awarded to all category winners.
There is an additional panning bay seeded with small jewels for beginners to try their hand at panning.
And don't miss out on your entry into 'Stake your Claim' - each entrant will peg out a section of ground for the change to win one of two gold nuggets.
Coffee van available, sponsor tents and the local scouts provide hot food, cold drinks and other snacks. Home made jams available to buy from the Red Cross - all proceeds donated.
