Surrey Country Fair and Ploughing Match
September 24th, 2006
This very special show takes place at Loseley Park, between Godalming and Guildford, at the end of Surrey Farm
and Village Week. With a lovely atmosphere, it draws crowds of around 10,000 for a fantastic country day out for the whole family.
I will be there doing two talks and practical demonstrations, taking dogs from the audience in the main arena. The first demonstration will be 10.20 am then 1.25pm both lasting about 40 minutes.
For people who love machinery, the modern and vintage tractors are magnetic. But for horse lovers and wallowers in nostalgia for the slower pace of yesteryear, the magnificent teams of heavy horses are a powerful attraction.
For dog lovers, this
show is a must. This year the English National Sheepdog Association is running One Man and His Dog style sheepdog trials, working flocks of sheep on the sloping fields in front of Loseley - a wonderful spectacle to watch. There will also be Terrier racing, gun dog training, obedience coaching and agility competitions, so that dogs big and small go centre stage.
For youngsters who love action, the show provides fantastic introductions to country
pursuits, from fly fishing to tractor driving, 4x4 handling to laser and clay shooting. There is also a tractor pull. Surrey produce is featured at the show. There is a Farmers Market and there are excellent shopping opportunities for arts and crafts. Fancy keeping chickens? Then d
on’t miss the poultry display and sale, new for this year.
Countryside organisations such as Business Link Surrey, the Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group, Surrey Wildlife Trust, the Surrey Hills Partnership and the Surrey Rural Stress Initiative will be represented at the show. This is a great day out for all the family so don't miss it
