Sheep Section

Welcome back to the Sheep section after a 2 year break. I hope you have all kept well and have had a good lambing time and hay making. As you will no doubt remember, 2019 was a total washout with the weather and we thank everyone who made the effort and turned out to support the show.

I would also just like to take a moment to mention my late father-in-law John Greenwood who we sadly lost last August. John has been a great support to me as Sheep Secretary since I took on the role in 2003 and he was very proud of what I have achieved over the years with the section. He is greatly missed.

Let’s hope for a warm, sunny day for 2022 and I look forward to seeing you then.

I look forward to seeing regular and new exhibitors at the 2022 show.

NOTE: ALTHOUGH TROPHIES ARE LISTED IN THE SCHEDULE, FOR THIS YEAR ONLY, NO TROPHIES WILL BE AWARDED AS WE WILL BE CARRYING OUT INVENTORY, REPAIR, RE-PURPOSE, VALUATION, THEY WILL BE GIVEN OUT AS NORMAL FOR 2023 SHOW.

Lizzie Greenwood, Sheep Section Secretary
