ABOUT: The Tamworth Antique and Collectables Fair is run by a
voluntary committee of the Oxley High School Parents' & Citizens' Association.
All money raised goes to the direct benefit of the students of Oxley High School.
It is the school's largest fundraising event each
year.
Oxley High School is the largest comprehensive high school in
the
north west of New South Wales with a student population of just
over
1100 and a staff of 90. It acquits itself very well
academically, culturally and
in sport. It is a reasonably young school,
in that it only opened
in 1968. Past students are acquitting
themselves well in medicine, law
and teaching as well as holding down
positions at many of our
universities including Newcastle, New England and
Wollongong, others
are making a name for themselves in the music field and
research.
Some of our more widely recognised students are
Philip
Quast, actor
and singer both within Australia and
overseas. Deniese Morrison,
Country Music singer,
Golden Guitar Winner and
songwriter.
Michael York,
former captain
of the Australian Men's Hockey Team.
More recently Josh Hazlewood who is making his name in Australian Cricket.
The
Tamworth Antique and Collectables
Fair is recognised as one of the most successful outside of any
capital city in
Australia, both by the dealers and the public. It
attracts the
highest attendance per capita of population for
any fair, including
the Australian Capital cities.
NOTE: This event has
wheel chair access.
The Tamworth Town Hall is heated
Light meals & refreshments will be available throughout the fair.
