CHAIRMAN’S ADDRESS

A very warm welcome to Whittingham Show 2017.

We are delighted that the Show will be held in the same field as last year, so many thanks again to Eric and Jayne Rogerson for providing such an excellent venue.

The Exhibition Marquee is the centre piece of our Show and will be open from 6.00am to receive your entries but will close promptly at 10.30am to enable the judging to take place. Please take time to examine the schedule and see what you can enter – there must be something for you, but check the schedule to make sure you comply with any instructions. Don’t forget the Beginners’ Section which is open to anyone who has never been placed 1st in that class before at Whittingham Show.
There is plenty of other entertainment on the Show field with our regular excellent Sheep Show and the very popular Dog Rally which is open to all dog owners. The Mordor Gundog Display team are coming all the way from Perthshire to demonstrate their skills and the Kirknewton Archers will be on the field so try your hand at a bit of Archery.

We would like to invite children to enter our Fancy Dress competition which this year is themed ‘Anything Magical’ and will culminate in a Parade in the main arena when the winners will be announced.
The popular Children’s Marquee will be open at 1.30pm and to entertain you even more Magician, Tony Junior will be demonstrating his skills during the afternoon.

Whittingham Show would not be complete without the wonderful local support for the main Exhibition Marquee with its fabulous array of flowers, vegetables, produce, art, crafts and photographs all grown or produced by local people – so come on be part of the Show and enjoy the fun.
Enjoy the Show.

Marian Charleton, Chairman.
