The Helensville A&P Ass Executive Committee, Members and all involved in the Show would like to acknowledge and thank Dame Jools Topp for her many contributions to our Helensville Show.

Over the years Jools has been a loyal Show supporter, turning up in prep week to help set-up for the Show, taking trade stalls with her equestrian products, and just last year opening the Show for us. As a good dairy farming kid she judged the Dairy Exhibit of the Show, presented various ribbons, emceed the barefoot trimming and couldn't help but jump in and join the hilarity of the Foxie Race.

As the Topp Twins we enjoyed having both Jools & Lynda at various Show events, including some of our Horse Expos. Everyone loved their impromptu auctioneering of the blacksmiths' horseshoes one year, and Jools emceeing various activities.

She will be missed by everyone in the equestrian community for her huge knowledge and by the farming community for her passion for all things rural.

RIP Jools and many, many thanks for all you have done for both the Show and our community.
