"Promoting agriculture and the countryside to all"
20,000 Reasons to be Proud
The 151st North Somerset Agricultural Show on Monday seems to have gone down well with all! With an attendance of 20,000 people excluding the 4,000 exhibitors and trade stand staff, this year has been more successful than ever!
THANK YOU!!!
This Show would not be possible without the tireless and enthusiastic help from everyone involved. From our helpful, polite and truly pleasant stewards, to our generous sponsors, our loyal members and everyone who entered an exhibit or trade stand - This success is as much yours as it is ours. Our trusty and ridiculously hard-working Secretary Tim Ledbury has done a fantastic job for his second year in the Society and our Chairman Johnny Alvis held the reins with authority and clarity.
Even the weather was almost perfect bar a short shower in the afternoon!
