The 2010 show will be held on Saturday August 28th.
After having had to cancel our 2007 event (due to the outbreak of foot & mouth disease in Surrey) and the 2008 event (due to prolonged wet weather) we held a successful show in 2009, although a slightly damp day ! Things are now full steam ahead for an even better event in 2010.
We look forward to seeing you and hope you will give us your support. We can confirm a lot of plans are in place and even a dry, warm sunny day has been booked!
