Islywydd / Vice President Mrs Grace Lees Website: www.Caerwys-Show.org.uk 1 A Message from the President Although it came as a pleasant surprise when I was invited to take on the role of the 2017 Caerwys Agricultural Show President, I was and am very grateful for this huge honour. I first attended the Show in 1994, shortly after joining what was then Sergeant and Oliver Veterinary Practice in Caerwys. My attendance then was in the capacity of on-call duty vet for the Show or taking part in the fun dog show with my two rescued dogs. I have been an avid supporter of this Show ever since. In whatever role I attend, I notice the variety on the field year on year gets better and better. This is testament to the effort and continued hard work of very many people. Although not a member of the Show committee, I am acutely aware that the preparation for this event is dependent on a multitude of volunteers, not only on the day, but throughout the year. It is wonderful to see the fruits of this hard work. May I say an enormous, personal thank-you to all who give up their time to enable this event to take place and make it the landmark success that it is today. Each year, as the second Saturday in June gets closer, breaths are held, fingers are crossed and prayers are said, for what is perhaps almost as important as all the preparations – the weather!! May it be kind to us again. Finally, it is a privilege to be the 2017 President, and I would like to wish everyone a very enjoyable day on Saturday 10th June. Every success and best wishes to all. Sally R. Evans, B.V.Sc., M.R.C.V.S. President 2017 2 CAERWYS AGRICULTURAL SHOW Rules and Regulations Livestock Entries 1. All stock must be entered by 31st May 2017 except Light Horses. 2.
