Proud to support the Salen Show

Wishing everyone a successful and enjoyable show day!

HEAD OFFICE 01680 812475 A Note from the Show President As I write this we have had a wonderful spring and early summer, and let us hope for good weather on the day.

I would like to welcome you all to the 2019 Salen Show, which will be my last as President.

I would like to thank the members of the committee for their support, but particularly Jo Weston our secretary and Sue Morley our treasurer for their tireless work. Sadly we are losing Jo, who is leaving the island soon after this year’s show.

Our show will have something to offer for everyone - livestock, produce and horticulture, and there will be many attractions and trade stands to keep you busy and entertained. Don’t miss the ever popular horse show which is held on the top field.

I hope you will enjoy this year’s event. Good Luck to All Colum

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