The 161st Melplash Show is on Thursday 21st August 2008 and is scheduled to be another great event.
On site preparation will start on Friday 15th August with the launch of the bridge over the River Brit. This will be an auspicious occasion as it is the 25th time since Don Townsend (Townsend Engineering), who skilfully engineered the bridge, has put it in place with the help of 4 men and heavy lifting gear. The Bridge is a vital part of the plan for a successful Show day. |

 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.
