2020 Swinford Agricultural Show Cancelled
To whom it may concern,
Swinford Agricultural Show Society Annual Show has been cancelled for 2020 due to Covid-19.
The decision was taken in view of the best Medical & Professional advice available to us.
Therefore we feel it would be irresponsible to contemplate any other out come.
As always we are deeply indebted to our Committee, Stewards, Sponsors, Competitors & the General Public for their outstanding support. Swinford Show is a community lead event for the enjoyment of all the community & much, much wider afield.
Here’s hoping for better times ahead & a brighter, happier 2021.
