2021 AGM and Open Day

24 Sep 2020

By Louise Hobson

We have not made a decision whether to go ahead with an AGM and Open Day as of 10 June 2021 until we are clearer what is happening after the 21 June 2021.

We do not, as a Society, wish to have a member spend time and effort getting ready for an event which will then have to be cancelled again at the last minute.

I am sure you will understand this and will bear with us until we are more sure of things.

I have sent a newsletter out and have requested if anyone would like to have an Open Day? We await feedback but all things being as they are I would assume most people are being very cautious.

BALMORAL SHOW 2021 NORTHERN IRELAND
21 Sep 2021
The Balmoral Show is a 4 day event from 21 June to 25 June 2021
The Society stand is in the National Sheep Association tent. Society members will be providing sheep for the stand and volunteering to attend the event. If you can assist on the stand for any of the day's please contact the Society and let us know.
The showground is located just outside the city of Lisburn.
A Translink shuttle bus is provided to and from the train station each day of the show and visitors using the train/bus link get priority entry to the show.
Routes by road are available on the Balmoral Show website www.balmoralshow.co.uk
