Pressbox (Press Release) - Blaston Show Society launches 53rd Show

January 2010

The Blaston and District Agricultural Show Society committee has launched the 53rd Show which will take place later this year on Sunday 27th June 2010.

Last year’s new management team, with the support of the Show’s many section chairmen, continue in their roles to organise this year’s Show with the aim of raising money for a variety of local charities, which last year were able to donate over £1,000.

The Show’s main ring displays will include tug of war, terrier racing, gymkhanas, driven ponies and show jumping. The many other attractions will include children's fair rides, trade stands, rural crafts, a licensed bar and food outlets, classic cars, classic and vintage tractors, modern farming display, dog showing, hound showing and sheep and goat showing. This year’s Show also will also feature a cattle exhibit.

Hoping for an even bigger and better Show this summer, the Blaston Show organisers are planning many new attractions.

The Society’s Chairman, Rupert West commented: “Our aim is raise the bar in what we can offer at Blaston Show every year. The addition of show cattle and other new attractions this year means we hope to attract an even wider audience. Raising as much money as we can for local charities is our ultimate aim, but it is also important that this local rural show offers a great day out for everyone”.

The 53rd Show will once again take place on the temporary Blaston Road showground which is located between the villages of Blaston and Slawston in Leicestershire.

Bookings for all classes are now taking place. For full information about class bookings and the show, visit the website www.blastonshow.co.uk
