Title: Central show listing site
Post by: cmorrell on May 08, 2009, 03:51:46 pm: I was wondering if anyone was aware of a central location to get an annual schedule for all the event relevant to a small holder? Or even a small number of sites listing for their own particular aspects. I've noticed since joining these forums that a a good number of events seem to come to the attention of people simply because someone else mentions it.

minor note, the Ayr County Show is listed as .com but it's on .co.uk :)
