Championship Show Report for AGM

Championship Show Report

Another very successful show was held at Moreton Morrell, Warwickshire on Saturday 19th August. This was the Society’s 50th show and all exhibitors, judges, stewards and other helpers received a beautiful commemorative rosette in pale blue and gold. The show ran for a single day as we are still slowly recovering from the long drawn out effects of Covid for exhibitors and helpers. The numbers may not have been huge, but the atmosphere was wonderful – a day amongst donkeys and good friends (even if they were new people you only met that morning!). We had some exhibitors come along for the first time and it was very special to see them being warmly welcomed and supported by all. This is one of the most important things about our Society and the membership!

A massive thanks to all those that exhibit, take entries. Judge, steward, sort rosettes, manage the trophies, do the catering, sort the stables, set up and take down rings etc – it really could not happen without you!

If you read this every year and think ‘not for me’, why not give it a try. You may be very surprised. If you’d like to ‘dip a toe’ in the water, then come along and help and see what it is all about! Same venue / same weekend next year!
