A message from our Chairman, David Mantle
Welcome, everyone, to this our eleventh Show. Farming is going through uncertain times at present but we have put all that behind us to bring the best of ‘what we do’, and the best of what others do, here today. I ask you to try to visit all areas of the Showground. Did you realise just what a great Show this is? Sheep, cattle, horses, dogs, Farmers’ Market marquee, trade stands in the Playing Field, vintage vehicles and the Garden Show in the Village Hall. If you want value for money then we certainly believe that you have come to the right place. Of course it is impossible to put on a Show like this without the help and strength of a great Committee. The members, who come from all walks of life, support myself as Chairman every step of the way. This year we have invited two members of Bwlch and Crickhowell YFC to help us to bring in new ideas. The Speed Shearing event is their first contribution. We hope that this liaison will continue for many years. Our Secretary, Jenny, has to be mentioned without whose help I could not manage as Chairman. I would like to thank all our sponsors, advertisers, competitors and traders for their continued support. Please notice who they are and support them when you can. Thanks, too, to the unseen heroes – the landowners who allow us the use of their fields; the guys who appear like magic to help erect the marquees and fencing; and those involved with car parking. May I also mention the Vice Presidents who support us so well – thanks to each one of them. Special thanks go to Jane our caterer. Not only does she feed the many Judges and VPs on Show Day but also caters for those who are on site in the week before and after the Show. Finally, thanks to each one of you for coming to Llangynidr Show today. When you leave may your hearts be full of joy, your lungs be full of fresh air and your pockets be empty!! Thank you! Diolch yn fawr! DM |
