Well.... Despite a grim weather forecast we had a successful show. The day started warm and dry and other than a rather drenching shower at 1:30 it remained that way, even the wind dropped in the afternoon and all in all conditions were quite pleasant. We almost matched our record flower and produce show entry of last year being only 1 entry down on that figure but with 3 extra exhibitors. Fortunately Alison had a new enlarged produce tent this year so there was plenty of space to put on an attractive display of your produce and arts and crafts. We are pleased that you love to enter your produce in the show as it is one of the main reasons for having the show and we hope that you will continue to enter in greater numbers. We had a packed schedule in the Arena. Special thanks to the Stagecoach crew for performing the opening song and to Hawkeye Falconry who were able to tailor their act to fit into gaps in the schedule after their initial slot was curtailed by the rain. Also not to forget our other entertainers, Bob Hogg, Tony and Amanda Brutus and The medieval Combat Society who's encampment and foot joust provided an informative and entertaining backdrop to the day. Most of all we thankyou the residents of Wanborough and the surrounding villages and Swindon for braving the weather and attending in large numbers. We rely on your support in order to stage the show year on year. Without you our fine tradition would be lost. We dont have the exact details yet for all parts of the show but when we get the info I will post a full write-up here. See you all next year. |

Wanborough Show is a small country show. It is a one day event, bigger than a village fete, but small enough not to lose its intimacy, unlike some of the larger events in the area. Located in the village of Wanborough just 1.5 miles from J15 of the M4, 5 miles from the centre of Swindon and amid a cluster of villages on the edge of the Wiltshire downs, it is easily accessible for many people. 
The Show is organised by a committee of volunteers on a 'not-for-profit' basis. All charges for commercial stands, at the gate and other money raised is used to cover the costs of staging the event. Any surplus funds at the end of the year are distributed to local organisations and worthy causes. |
