Yet here we are again, with a new President , a new show coming on July 13 – and a great new line-up of entertainment and shopping. I’ve been a volunteer for the Newport and District Agricultural Society for more than two decades, and seen dozens of shows
The same can be said for all our volunteers – from our stewards to those helping organise the various competitions, everyone who lends their time is a valued member of the show . So if you’re thinking about volunteering this year, please do get in touch with the team – you’re guaranteed a warm welcome and a great time, too!
Each year pupils in schools across the region take on our challenge to grow potatoes – with the winning crop assessed in a thrilling finale on show day, with the successful pupils getting securing £100 to be spent on school gardening equipment.
