CHAIRPERSONS ADDRESS 2008 
 
It’s that time of year again.... The 2008 Eglinton Annual Show is approaching, and
    preparations are well underway to make the day a success. As well as viewing the
    class entries and side stalls, we have lined up a number of items to make the 2008
    show a great family day out. There will be face painting, balloons, nail art, teas,
    ice-cream, and games, to name but a few of the diversions on offer.
 
If that doesn’t whet your appetite, then how about our ‘Best Dressed Scarecrow’ competition!
    It promises to provide lots of fun and laughter on the day, particularly for the
    little ones. You can make a family or group entry. 
 
Each year the committee strives to make the show a success and ensure its continuation
    within the village. The support of all our sponsors and advertisers is paramount
    to this, and to whom I offer our thanks. We always welcome new people onto our committee
    who may bring fresh ideas to the show and help make it sustainable in the longer
    term.
 
I look forward to seeing you on Saturday,  13th September 2008, and hope that you
    can join us in the evening for our annual barbeque, followed by a night of music
    by Hudson blue. Tickets are priced at £8.00 and are available from committee members.
    And finally on behalf of the committee, I wish you the best of luck with your entries
    for this year’s show.
 
Thank you for your support
 
Sharon Proctor
