Once again the BDS Wales Show was lucky to receive a blessing from the heavens with some glorious sunshine for the whole event. A full show report will be posted here soon but in the meantime, the Show Committee wanted to take the time to thank everyone involved with helping to run the show specifically; Maggie and Mike in the cones ring, Hilary and Sally on the gates, Ellie and Derrick in the ring, Rhiannon and partner on the results sheets, Helen on the commentary, Ann and team on the catering for our stewards, sponsors and judges, Anthea for preparing the rosettes and everyone involved in the RDA stand.

We have been so graciously supported by our sponsors who truly want to help the BDS Wales Show evolve into a truly all encompassing show to help beginners come forward and to attract top notch talent to showcase their skills. As ever we are open to feedback and want to hear suggestions for improvement to truly make it the competitors show first and foremost. We would like to thank Derrick and Cynthia Whiting for their generous sponsorship of the new Championship series and their donation of four fine art prints to the champions of those championships. We would also like to thank Arwel Davies Joinery, Jenny Todd, Pete and Sandra Sheffler, Angharad Morris, Marneon Designs, Market Hall Vets, Duffryn Twyi Clinic, Blue Chip, Callum Jones, Plas Country Pursuits, Anthea and Brian Birch, Bob and Helen Stevens, HT Installations and Penny and Ray Hopkins for their enthusiastic support.

Last but definitely not least thank you to the wonderful people who brought their turnouts before our judges and made our rings look so wonderful.

I have personally never been prouder to be associated with the BDS Wales Show and only hope to grow it better each year so we can all have a wonderful time.
