The Northern Gallery

The Northern Region Spring Show was – superb number and quality of donkeys forward, with the Championship being taken by Pandora, followed hot on her hooves for the Reserve with Gamlingay Scrumpy Jack – well done to all. The 1st class of the afternoon was the Open Driving, 1st time in the ring Donkan took the red ribbon with his enthusiasm for the job. The Young Handlers had 6 children with a range of ages showing their skills – a real credit. It didnt rain and the raffle, book stall, refreshments and the 1-100 stalls were kept busy raising valuable funds for our chosen charities, alongside the many donations from friends and neighbours. A small selection of photos on our news page to reflect our fun.
