The weather couldn’t have been much worse, though quite pleasant really for Wales – just a bit damp!

Despite the squally showers attendance was good, with 6,000+ visitors entering the Showground. The programme of events ran pretty much to schedule apart, sadly, from the Red Devils; cloud cover on the day was just too low for the fellas to attempt a jump safely, but they stayed around to enjoy the rest of the Show and sign autographs for the kids – they also promised to fulfil their boast of being able to “land on a sixpence” at next year’s two day show. Flyin Ryan put on a great stunt show and the Falconry display was enjoyed by everyone around the Arena and some beyond as the falcons swooped in between the crowds! The gun dog display was a success to, and the Army cadet band let rip in between events in the Exhibition Hall where over 150 classic bikes and cars were on show. Unfortunately, because of the low cloud cover, only a few lucky punters managed to get off the ground in the helicopter but those that did had a cracking turbo ride with a view of the Showground and surrounding countryside below.

All in all everyone had a good time as can be seen in the link to the gallery of pictures below. And once again we raised £2400 for TyHafan, Ferryside Lifeboat & Wales Air Ambulance.

With the blessing of a sunny day it would have been a glorious Show – and so it will be over the two days next year!
