We were very grateful to Mr. Mark Gamlin our in hand Judge and Louise Maryon, the ridden Judge. Both had done a splendid job during the day and we hope they both enjoyed their visit to North Wales and of course we had the pleasure of the company of our President, Mr. Alf Hallworth. Thank you to everybody for supporting the Show. Also we must thank our stewards, Mr. Alex Knott and Mr. John Penrose – we could not manage without them; their usual professional skills make the Show run like clockwork!

However we were disappointed at the poor turn out; where were you all? What with shows having been cancelled (the disappointment of Malvern in particular) and bad weather during the summer, we had hoped you were saving yourselves for a trip to North Wales! Please remember us for next year. The Spring Show is booked for Saturday 5th April 2008 and the Summer Show Sunday 3rd August 2008 both at the same venue in Northop.
