Anyone going to the Westmorland Show ?
« on: September 02, 2011, 03:07:21 pm »
I am  ;D ;D ;D
It was supposed to be a child and pig free jaunt with no responsibilities (just so I could have a wee night on the sauce  ;) and enjoy the social side, it will be almost my birthday after all) but I've been roped into pig showing (yes, you know who you are  ;) :-*) so will be staying fairly sensible over the 2 days  ::) But those of you who know me know that even sober I'm not that sensible  :o
So stop by and say Hi if you're coming - I'll be near the pigs  ;D
Karen  :wave:

We should be there too! I have never been before, so no idea what the showground is like or how it is laid out.

What time are you heading down on Wednesday?  Will be down on Wednesday too, but not sure what time yet-- hopefully by 3pm.

I'm getting a lift down with Lillian & Robert, leaving here around 10.30am so should be (hopefully) all sorted by the time you arrive. I'll pm you my mobile number Beth and we can maybe meet up for a 'wee swally' if you're in the mood  ;)

It's a big agricultural show down in Cumbria - LOADS to see and do and although I've never been before I've been told it's great  ;D Fingers crossed it's not too cold or too wet  ;) Here's a link to the website http://www.westmorlandshow.co.uk/

County Show, Westmorland  ;)

Westmorland being one of the two counties (the other was Cumberland) stuck together to make Cumbria.

It's held at the show site at Crooklands, just off J36 of M6

We're going  :)

We've got 5 Tamworths entered and 2 Hampshires. 

It's a really nice show, looking forward to it.

Oh well I'm sure the sheepdog trials will be great fun. Robert and Lillian, what are you doing about movement forms? The show sent two DEFRA forms, but to my mind shouldn't we fill in our own Scottish one for going there and only an English one for coming back?
