LINCOLNSHIREAGRICULTURAL SOCIETY

The objects of the Lincolnshire Agricultural society are: • To advance, promote and improve agricultural and

horticultural industries and associated trades, crafts and professions.

• The advancement of environmental protection and improvement through the encouragement of sustainable management of natural resources.

As a registered Charity the Society pursues these objects through a wide variety of activities, one of these being the annual Lincolnshire Show.

ALL Exhibitors are asked to read carefully: • The Lincolnshire Show Regulations and Information

found at the back of this booklet • The front section of the relevant Section on Cattle,

Malpractice:

Any artificial contrivance or device of any description found on or proved to have been used on an animal at any time whilst that animal is in the Showground, either for preventing the flow of milk or for any other improper purpose, will disqualify that animal from being awarded a prize, and any prize awarded prior to discovery will be forfeited.

Any Person or Exhibitor (or his representative) who is found to have administered or permitted the administration of any such tranquilliser or drugs to any Show exhibit will be reported to the Organising Committee, and dealt with at their discretion. In addition the matter will be referred to the appropriate Breed Society or Organisation.

Any Exhibitor wishing to lodge an objection, having reference to Livestock exhibited at this Show. Please see condition 24 in the regulations at the back of this schedule. If, on investigation, the objection is not sustained to the satisfaction of the Committee, the sum thus deposited shall, at the discretion of the Committee, be forfeited to the funds of the Society. All objections must be lodged within two hours of when the alleged incident occurred in accordance with the objection regulations, and no objection will be SUBSEQUENTLY received, unless a reason, satisfactory to the Committee be assigned for the delay.
