Welsh Showtime Finale News Update - 11.07.07


Plans for the 2007 Welsh Showtime Finale sponsored by The Victoria Food Company are well ahead with schedules being posted in the next few days.
The show will undergo some important changes this year, mainly to the showground layout. The semi-permanent stabling and lorry parking will now be situated on the site of the old show rings to facilitate to move to our bigger and better show rings situated nearby. Although the new show rings enjoy larger, flatter and better layout with an ample collecting ring, they are situated a short distance away over the old railway line. This will be clearly signposted for easy access, but due to the distance involved, may be difficult for those with walking difficulties. Disabled ringside parking will be available.
In order to conform to improved security measures, we will also be introducing vehicle passes which will be issued free of charge in advance of the event.
