Kingsbridge Show 2006
Or the survival of the fittest
It was an absolutely awful day. It rained hard until 11:30, then we had drizzle until about 3:30, then it rained again. Before 11:30 there was hardly any member of the public there - just stand and show people. Then we all got a rush of people, who really enjoyed themselves, then they went away much earlier than normal. Our stand was full in this middle period, and we made a lot of contacts and sold lots, and made some useful money on the 'guess the weight' contest - which people loved - it was a goose owned by Peter's. Next year the committee have agreed to have an 'any other native breed sheep' so we can enter some rare breeds - please enter if you have any
