Despite a thunderstorm on the Friday Morning, the 3 days at the SOE were as enjoyable as usual, with John Pedder and your president Dave Overton ensuring that the SOE show is one of the events to attend.
Breed judging was on the Thursday with interbreed judging on the Friday.
The SOE show also boasts “piggy pranks” – the obstacle course for pigs and handlers – very popular with the crowds !
This years SOE president is Penelope Keith – Margo from the Good Life amongst many other memorable roles.
