2007 Show The 2007 Gower Show will once again be held in the scenic grounds of Penrice Castle Park, Reynoldston, by kind permission of the Methuen-Campbell family. The show will offer classes for livestock, horses, show-jumping, poultry, honey, cookery, horticulture, crops, stick making and vintage engines. In the horse section there are new classes this year for Coloured horses, NPS, BSHA, BSPA & RAGW qualifiers and also a Dengie Show jumping qualifier. A full programme of other events will take place during the day including a motorcycle display team, falconry display, Sheepdog and Ducks, Banwen Miners Hounds, sidesaddle demonstration and a parade of vintage engines.
The children’s section competitions include making a flower arrangement in a teacup, and a plate of cakes made of flowers. Life-sized scarecrows are needed and there is a search for the tallest sunflowers. All this is in addition to the usual displays and classes for the very best vegetables, cut flowers and pot plants. Please contact Liz for further info on 371222.
“A Grand Day Out” is the theme to this year at the show. There are a wide range of classes including photography, painting and needlework. There is a special knitting class too looking for that special hand knitted item for a premature baby. (All entries will be donated to Singleton Hospital premature baby unit after the show.) Children’s classes include decorating flowerpots, making a collage, decorating a Swiss roll, and making flapjacks.
