Just a week to go now..................

 

There has been a slight change to the line-up - Shillingford has been withdrawn, but has been replaced by Moretonhampstead and Modbury Torr.

 

In the light of the recent Grenfell Tower tragedy the show profits will be split between Hampshire & IOW Air Ambulance and the Grenfell Tower Appeal.

Just a little over a day to go now - Moretonhampstead is loaded in the car ready to be taken to the show at stupid o'clock on Saturday morning.
