Blast! All the interesting stuff is on the Saturday, when I'm working...

Or do I misinterpret the website? It looks as if only the tractor pulling and "light legged classes" (whatever that is) happens on the Friday!

we cant as we are off to fyvie castle country fair with cattle and  pigs. shame tho cos we were looking forward to it.

[robert waddell]

oh that is a pity   don't know about the rest of the show but our pigs will be there on the Friday

[Ina]

I'm still trying to find out what is actually happening at the show on Friday. According to the programme, the gates are open to the public at 2pm; you'll be charged £5, but nothing happens until the tractor pulling at 6pm. There must be something?!?!?

(The info for the livestock people only says that you can bring in your goats on the Friday - nothing said about anything else...)

[princesspiggy]

[robert waddell]

[Ina]

i am sure it has been in all the publicty for the show

Which publicity? Haven't seen anything... And I work in Brechin, if only one day per week! And there's nothing on the website. I'm sure that people who've been going every year for the past 3 decades or so know what to expect, but as a relative newcomer I can't afford to go that far on the off chance there might be something interesting on...
