(http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/Smileys/default/excited.gif) (http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/Smileys/default/excited.gif) The Melplash Show at The West Bay Showground, Bridport, Dorset is going ahead after all (http://www.accidentalsmallholder.net/forum/Smileys/default/relief.gif) (recent flooding put it in doubt). Thursday 23rd August. Good luck to a certain TASer who I hope will sweep the board in the sheep classes.

Wonder who that might be ;)
I love Melplash (especially a it's my local show!) I don't think it will go all my way though! with Wensleydales, Cotswolds etc it's going to be a challenge for my scruffy GFDs to get amongst the rosettes - especially when they have been lying in the gateway on semi solid dung ::) :roflanim:

Ohhhh love Melplash show!!!!!! One of the best in the west.....and the lunch in the members tent is amazing and so worth being a member for :innocent:

Old Land Rover has just seriously failed the MOT :'( so no transport for my sheep (well, that's my excuse). I'll be the one in the horticultural tent tomorrow night balancing plants/eggs/jam :o . Where is OH when you need him? ::) ::)

:farmer: Brilliant day, the sun shone :sunshine: :sunshine: and there was a cool breeze off the sea.
A certain TASer was in the grand parade with her Champion Ram (well done Gungadin) :trophy: :trophy: , and won first prize with a ewe too. And another was quietly chuffed to bits winning first prize with a Shetland (ish) fleece :sheep: :sheep: from an unregistered store lamb that was reprieved.
There was a good turn-out of sheep - lots of down breeds and primitives. Some folk travel a long way so it is well supported. Anyone interested for next year, give me a call for info. :thumbsup:

O.k, so my scruffy mob did rather better than I was expecting! Well done with the fleece Bramblecot, it was certainly a good show for us local yokels ;D :thumbsup:

Yes, well done Carole :trophy: those commercials were well wooped ;) your Heb boys are so handsome :eyelashes:
