Agricultural shows combine to offer special salver
Five popular agricultural shows in the old county of Montgomeryshire are again working together to promote the events this summer.
All but one of the shows contribute points towards a coveted piece of silverware for sheep breeders. A salver is awarded to the competitor that gains the most points in the sheep sections at Guilsfield, Llanfyllin, Berriew and Llanfair Caereinion shows.
The salver, which will be presented at Llanfair Caereinion Show on September 2, is a spin-off of a marketing collaboration between the four shows - together with Montgomery Show - which began in 2006.
The five show secretaries now share ideas and information with a view to improving their annual events, which are promoted in a ‘5 Local Shows’ leaflet.
The dates of this year’s shows are: Guilsfield Show on Thursday, August 10, Llanfyllin Show on August 12, Montgomery Show on August 19, Berriew Show on August 26 and Llanfair Caereinion Show on Saturday, September 2.
