The 2012 Brompton Regis

Show and Gymkhana

will be held on

Saturday 18th August

Brompton Regis Show and Gymkhana - 2012

The Show’s kick-off meeting was held on 27th February to start planning for this year’s Show and discuss how we can improve it and introduce some new ideas.

There have been two changes to the committee. Joyce Miller will now take over organising the Handicraft Show from Sheila Budd, who stepped down at the AGM. June Hollom decided against taking over the role as she is now planning to move away from the village. Also, since the meeting, Pauli Joyce has agreed to take over organising the Flower Show from Hazel Bedward, who is also planning to move home.

A number of new ideas were discussed at the meeting and will be followed up. Sylvia agreed to run a hot food stall at the refreshments tent: ideal for those fresh August mornings. This will surely guarantee sweltering weather on the day! I will also hire extra tent space because some of the stalls were a little too confined last year.

Cindy Cowling, the Horse Show secretary, will be working with Nikki Routledge to introduce, for the first time, sponsorship of the horse show classes to help recover the show costs.

It was also agreed to start the Dog Show at 1.00pm, 30 minutes earlier than previous years, because of its growing popularity.

There will be another Show Lottery with tickets that can be sold before, as well as on, the day with a first prize of £100.

Once again, there will be an emphasis on providing stalls and attractions for all the family, especially the children. We will need more helpers to run extra attractions so if you think that you would like to get involved and help, then please give me a call.

If you cannot help on the day, then you can certainly help by providing us with items that you no longer need such as books, clothes, produce and plants. Please put them to one side, rather than throw them away, and start putting some extra seeds into pots for the plant stall.

Every little bit helps. Thank-you to everyone for all the support that you give.
