2. Due to declining numbers we are no longer able to accommodate MV Accredited Sheep.
3. No dogs allowed in the Society building.
4. Smoking is not permitted in the Society building for safety reasons.
5. Please note the Newbury & District Agricultural Society is not a central point recording centre (CPRC). You will therefore be required to list all the individual tag numbers of the entries attending the Show on your movement license.
6. Every animal entered in breed classes must be entered in, or certified as eligible, or accepted for entry in the flock book of its breed. Where the animal is entered by the exhibitor as eligible or accepted for entry in the flock book, proof of such eligibility or acceptance must be furnished to the secretary, if required.
7. Docking: you are reminded that the welfare of Livestock (prohibition operations) reg. 1982 requires that sheep must have sufficient tail retained to cover the vulva of the female sheep and the anus of male sheep. In the event of a formal complaint being received for infringement of this requirement the matter will be referred to the Society vet.
