South West Beltex Club, Exeter Extravaganza Ewe with lambs at foot and empty ewe lambs sale, 24th April Cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Any further information can be obtained from contacting Russel Steer at Kivells 01392 251361 or Louise Elworthy on 07977 229065. Please stay safe.
Coronavirus (Covid-19)
Due to the deteriorating situation associated with the COVID-19 outbreak, and the government guidelines concerning social distancing and avoiding unnecessary travel.
The Society Office will be closed from 3.00pm today, Barbara and Kayley will be working from home (reduced office hours) for the next three weeks. This is difficult decision but a necessary one, and one not taken lightly.
Things are changing on a daily basis and we are in contact with the auction markets regarding sales, but they too are working from day to day, we hope that by the time for Society’s breed sales in August and September that things may be easier for all concerned.
It is saddening to see so many shows cancelling and it would not be a decision taken lightly by them but a necessary one to help stop the spread of the virus around the country.
Barbara will hopefully travel to the office on a weekly basis to pick up mail, and messages left on the landline, the preferred form of contact would be email or mobile.
We will keep putting out as much information that we know as soon as we can via website and facebook, twitter and Instagram.
We in the office – “virtual office” appreciate your support and understand that you too are having to amend your way of life, we hope you all keep safe and well in this mad, mad world we are inhabiting at this time.

It is with a heavy heart that the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Royal Welsh Show. We realise that this will have a significant impact to everyone involved, however we must put public safety at the top of our agenda and responsibly follow Government and Public Health advice.
The whole Society is deeply disappointed that we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel, however we fully understand the need to work the industry to minimise the spread of the pandemic.
The Society appreciates that this will cause inconvenience for many people and we encourage those with urgent questions or queries to contact us via requests@rwas.co.uk

Penrith Agricultural Society
PRESS RELEASE
It is with much regret that the Society Trustees have made the very difficult decision to cancel this year’s Penrith Show which was due to take place on Saturday 18th July.
This decision has not been taken lightly but it was felt that the financial risk in seeking alternative options with so much uncertainty enforced total cancellation.
Whilst we are devastated to be making this announcement, we wholeheartedly support the Government on this matter. We know this event is a calendar highlight for many thousands of people and that our exhibitors and traders spend many months getting ready for the show, but public health and safety has to be our number one priority for the sake of volunteers, stewards, visitors and for our wider community.
We have been communicating with our members, sponsors, traders, advertisers and contractors but we would like to thank all who support our Show & Society and extend our best wishes to everybody at this challenging time. We look forward to seeing everyone at the next show scheduled for Saturday 17th July 2021.
For further information please contact the Secretary, Mandy Hitch on secretary@penrithshow.co.uk or call 01228 593595
