Celebration of Country Life

Great Eccleston Show is a celebration of country life in all its aspects. As well as featuring the very best in agriculture this event provides a showcase for the whole range of rural activities. With many different classes covering a wide range of interests, agricultural and otherwise, there is plenty of scope for everyone to enter something in the 2010 Great Eccleston Agricultural Show to be held at on Saturday 17th and Sunday 18th July.

Entry fees are set low to encourage as many people as possible to take part, whatever their walk of life, so that everyone can join in and help to fill the marquees brimful with wonderful exhibits. Schedules listing the many and varied classes, together with entry forms, will be available, next month, in many of the local shops and post offices, as well as the Village Centre, and also the Health Centre in Great Eccleston.

Alternatively you can write to the Society's Secretary enclosing a ready stamped (A5 sized) SAE (Self Addressed Envelope).
Please address your request for a schedule to:

Mrs Sheila Robinson
Unsworth House
St Michael's-on-Wyre
Preston
PR3 OTD
Tel. 01995 679204

Although the main schedule includes nearly everything from livestock, horticulture, and handicraft to pictures, pies and pickles, there are also separate schedules for goats, poultry, pigeons and budgerigars.

All entries, together with the appropriate fees, have to be in the Secretary's hands by the closing date, Saturday 3rd July, 2010.
