I could be going Friday if I can get someone to look in on Freckles around Lunchtime - a friend is showing her abandoned black Shetland Lamb (Lawrence  ::) ::) )  They are on about 2pm I think but my neighbour and I would aim to get there around 10 am

We'll be there every day, with our sheep in the Hebridean lines.  Please drop by to visit.  Judging is Fri am for Hebs - we are not there to win so don't feel sorry for us when we are at the bottom of the line - we just love to promote the breed.  I might have my spinning wheel or drop spindle though not on Fri. Our name is Johnston, written above the sheep.  Hope to see lots of you there.  :wave:

I'll be there from the Tuesday through to the bitter end on Sunday. Poultry are only in on Saturday/Sunday. Just a display on in the tent Thurs/Fri.

Our Judging is on Friday as well, start at 8:30am. But we also have our milking competition on the Thursday, so we will be milking in the judging ring (if weather ok) at 7am and 6:30pm.

Feel free to stop in and see the goats- my surname is Fairley, we have goats entered under Fairley, Baisden and Campbell! I think we're taking 14 with us....

Bumping this thread up a bit!

Getting close to the show now- quite excited this year. Disappointingly, we haven't recieved any of our exhibitor packs, so at the moment we have no passes, numbers etc  >:(  However, the show is being very good, and making up replacements for us. The exhibitors caravan park this year, is on a first come first served basis, so I will try and be through on tuesday morning for the gates opening at 8am to get a good spot!

If quite a few TASer's are going to the show, does anyone want to set a meeting place for any particular day?

A few folk going on Friday. It would be great to meet up since I haven't managed to any of the meets so far.

I am hoping to go on the Friday so will be in to see your goats Beth, will also visit the sheep. We dont have any horses there this year so it will be nice to just wander round looking at everything else.
