Just get a ticket for the member..... and nice little badge......... and a voucher for a programme, catalogues cost extra. Spouse is gonna cost you over £20 and that's before she wants T&aP. Thats if you can navigate past where they've closed all the lanes off so Chamile Ponsonby-Ffarquhar can pratt around on her demented gelding as she makes her way to and from the ring. Might be an idea to arrange a second mortgage before you decide to settle for a hotdog of unknown origin and watery coffee because that's the only stand that doesn't have a queue from now 'til doomsday

Love the heavies but the show seems to have been given over to the showjumpers and the like.

Spent my first 3 summers after leaving school doing the show 'circuit' with our very successful cattle team. starting with the Ayrshire then the Highland, the Great Yorkshire and the Royal, taking in the one day shows in between but nowadays the ones that have survived have precious little to do with Ag as far as I can see. I lost my illusions about the show/pedigree livestock decades ago. I'm now just a cynical old git but if anyone needs halters made or halter training done with young stock..............
