Proud to support the Salen Show

Wishing everyone a successful and enjoyable show day!

HEAD OFFICE 01680 812475 A Note from the Show President I am writing as the new Show President, having taken over from Garth Reade who has done a great job for the last 3 years. It is an honour to continue to support the show as my family has done for many years. This year we have said goodbye to Richard Fairbairns and on behalf of the committee I would like to thank him for all his hard work as Secretary & Treasurer. We have managed to fill Richard’s shoes (somewhat muddy after last year) by recruiting Sue Morley as Treasurer and Jo Weston as Secretary. Together the committee will ensure the Show continues as a great day for all involved. A new attraction this year is the Rodeo Bull which should provide some entertainment, and Chainsaw Art – some of the pieces will be raffled at the end of the show so make sure you buy your tickets. We have new sponsors and new trophies to award in Horticulture, Dog Show, and Horse & Pony classes. So fine weather would be most welcome but after last year we know it’s not essential to enjoying the day! Good Luck to All Colum

Everyone is welcome to join us for a ‘Blether and B-B-Q’ after the main prizegiving
