Exotic animal enthusiast Simon Airey introducing some of his amphibians to Holly and Lauren Sweet
The principal winners of the draw were Richard Dunk, Alan Owen and D L Jones. The show was a great success. Some 450 adults and children attended which was a significant increase on recent years. The weather was particularly kind and everybody enjoyed the exhibits, sideshows, children’s games and football, refreshments and the RAF helicopter.
