Goosnargh & Longridge Agricultural Society

Goosnargh and Longridge agricultural society open show Saturday 11th July 2026

I would like to thank Goosnargh and Longridge agricultural society for the opportunity to judge at their show. The weather was extremely warm but thankfully there was ample room for the dogs and exhibitors under cover. I'd also like to thank the exhibitors for entering under me there are so many shows at this time of year and although there were a few absentees I enjoyed my day very much. Unfortunately i was unable to stay to watch the groups as i had a 5 hour journey home so decided to leave after my judging.
