Thanks! Dilwyn Show Report
You can view pictures of the 2008 show here .
I think everyone would agree that the show this year was a great success. The weather was perfect and we had more people through the gate, more horse show, dog and vintage entries than ever. Everyone appeared to have a good time and we were very pleased to hear one lady leaving the show say that �that was the best �3 I have ever spent!�
