Show Openers - a gardening theme

22/7/2018

 
When choosing people to open Llangynidr Show, we like to cover a variety of interests related to the rural and agricultural themes of our show.  This year, at around 12 noon, we have a gardening aspect to the show opening ceremony.  This is only fitting as our sister event, the Llangynidr Garden and Craft Show, running in parallel on the same day in the Village Hall, is celebrating its 75th year!

So this year's show is being opened by Terry Walton (allotment expert, author, radio presenter...) and Lynne Allbutt (author, TV and radio presenter, barefoot walker...), both widely regarded for their gardening expertise (alongside their many other skills).

Timing to be confirmed, but at some point on show day in the demonstration tent, Terry and Lynne will also be ready to answer your questions in a "Gardeners' Question Time"-style session.  Please come prepared with your questions to make best use of their deep knowledge and skills.

This year's nominated charity

9/7/2018

 
Over the last couple of years, Llangynidr Agricultural Show Society has been pleased to work with a major charity each year, raising much-needed funds for the charity, both through specific activities at the show and through direct donations from show funds where appropriate.

For 2018, we are extremely proud to be working with Wales Air Ambulance.

At this year's show, we will have members of the air ambulance charity fundraising team on site with their mock-up of an ambulance helicopter.  Visitors to the show will be able to sit in the "helicopter", ask questions about the air ambulance and purchase air ambulance branded items, all to raise money for this essential, but charity-funded, service.

Find out more about this charity which is so important to us here in Wales, by visiting http://www.walesairambulance.com
