Despite there being no livestock due to the Foot and Mouth restrictions this years show was a great success. The weather was fine and as well as the heavy horses and the show jumping the main arena played host to Jason Smyth with his Adrenaline Tour motorcycle stunt show. Later on the Team Guinot wingwalking display team performed a breathtaking display of aerobatics from the top wings of two biplanes. There was plenty of home handicrafts and horticulture on display and visitors and locals all commented on how much there was to see and do.
