Once again, the sun was shining on Llanddewi Show & Sports.
Chairman, Marie Jones said that it had been a great success, thanking everyone for their massive team effort.
The show took place at Llanddewi Parish Hall and Llanddewi Ddole by kind permission of the Pugh family.
The horse and pony show included ridden classes, in hand classes, a working hunter competition and show jumping.
The sheep show returned and there was a popular speed shearing competition with juniors, intermediates, senior and open classes.
The dog show had pedigree, non-pedigree and fun classes and there was a vintage display of tractors, tools and implements, a barbecue and a bar.
There was also a children’s fancy dress competition, various sideshows, a bouncy castle, ice cream van, sweets, burgers and drinks, on the field for everyone’s enjoyment.
The main attractions this year was Wye Valley Carvers, Steve’s Ferret Racing, the tug of war and the Llanddewi Sheep Spectacular – the speed shearing competition.
The Parish Hall once again hosted the craft, cookery, horticulture, children’s craft classes and there was a chance to design the programme cover or a poster for next year’s show and Llanddewi’s Christmas card.
An after-show party with music from DJ Ryder will also include a licensed bar from 6pm, with the entertainment commencing at 8.30pm.
Pre-show week events had something for everyone.
A well supported car treasure hunt, children’s disco, where the President, Martin Udall, chose the new Children’s Show Ambassador – Nerys Powell, assisted by Hallie Jones, Delyth Miles and Harvey Davies who would help the President at the opening, as well as having a ride in the horse (Ozzy) and carriage around the show field.
A well supported open dominoes night, saw Mark Bevan and Jaz Jones in first place, with Joey and James Morgan runners up.
The very popular quiz night, with question master Paddy, assisted by Helen, saw 15 teams enter, eager to be the victors. In first place were 3 Men, a lady and a baby, second was The dream Tea and in third place was All the President’s people.
The Mixed Pair Darts competition saw Molly Rowlands and Tom Nixon winning the Margaret Jones memorial Cup and the ever popular Tippit night saw Sam, Chloe and Dan win the Bill Bevan memorial Cup.
