We attended the Kent County Show which unfortunately did not have the usual beautiful weather but we had a good attendance in the Jacob classes with up to 13 entries in some classes which was lovely to see and a great time was had by all.
At the time of writing Edenbridge and Oxted Show is our next local show and we are hopeful for a good entry.
If you need any advice or help with your flock or the Society please give me a call.
