The Council reserves to itself the right to inform other Agricultural Associations or Breed or other Societies of any decision it may come to with respect to any exhibitor. Grooms / attendants appearing with animals in judging rings must be of smart appearance and dressed appropriately for the section being judged. It is the Exhibitors responsibility to ensure that the correct number is worn in the relevant class and the Association accepts no responsibility for errors caused by incorrect numbers being displayed.

Handlers must be properly trained in safe work methods and be in good health. Judges / Stewards are empowered to ask an exhibitor to leave a ring or any other area on the grounds of safety if they feel that the exhibitor is incapable of safely handling / riding the exhibit in question. All riders should be of an appropriate size and weight for the horse/pony being ridden (anywhere in the exercise/warm up areas, day or night). The Association reserves the right to take further action against any competitor whose size or weight compromises the welfare of the horse/pony being ridden.

production of a prize card or rosette by an exhibitor will not entitle him to the Prize. All Cups and Trophies must be signed for prior to their collection. A Trophy that can be won outright i.e. after being won 3 times in succession or any 4 times etc., can only be so won if the exhibitors name or combination of names on the Entry Form is the same for each relevant year of entry.

Penalties11. As the non-exhibition of Animals entered for the Show causes unnecessary preparation and expense and disarranges the

Showground, any person entering Stock and failing to exhibit shall pay a penalty of £5.00 for each entry unless a certificate under the hand of the Exhibitor or his authorised Agent be lodged with the Secretary of the Association before the day of the Exhibition certifying that non-exhibition is caused by:

(1) the death of the animal or animals (2) contagious or infectious diseases (confirmed by the explanatory certificate of a Veterinary Surgeon) or (3) by its becoming ineligible for the class in which it has been entered. Every exhibitor shall indemnify the Association against all actions, claims, proceedings and demands by any person, company or other representative body of whatsoever nature in respect of any matter, directly or indirectly connected with the bringing onto the Association’s Showground of any animal which may have been suffering from any contagious or infectious disease or which develops such a disease whilst on the Showground and in addition the exhibitor shall pay all costs and expenses incurred by the Association in connection with any such claim. The Association’s Veterinary Officers are authorised to refuse permission for any animal to be admitted to, or to have removed from, the Showground any animals affected with contagious or infectious disease or with disease which, in their opinion, was likely to prove dangerous to other animals. The owner or stockperson in charge of such animal may obtain, if desired, a certificate in writing from the Association’s Veterinary Officer, stating the nature of such disease or infection. Concealment of disease will render the exhibitor liable to disqualification in accordance with regulation 9.

60

The Stewards, on the recommendation of the Association’s Veterinary Officers shall have the power to remove from the Showground any unruly, vicious, deformed or diseased animals, and also the stock, implements or miscellaneous articles belonging to any exhibitor who refuses to comply with the instructions given to them by the Stewards without any responsibility attaching to them or to the Association in consequence of such removal.

Protests12. All objections must be lodged, in writing, with the Secretary not later than five o’clock in the afternoon of the day on which

the award affected has been made. If, however the protest applies to fraudulent entry or description, it will be accepted if made within seven days of the closing day of the Show. The Objector must state the specific grounds on which the objection is made and at the same time deposit a sum of £30 with the Secretary. Protests involving measurement Certificates must be dealt with in accordance with the rules of Joint Measurements Scheme and the requisite deposit lodged at the same time. All objections will be considered by a Committee, normally chaired by the Honorary Show Director, and consisting of not less than three other members of Council, one of whom should, if possible, be a steward of the section affected. The Committee may require and receive such evidence as they think fit and in particular may require the objector or the exhibitor of any animal in respect of which such a protest was lodged to make a statutory declaration upon any question of fact concerning the matters of such objection. The decision of the Committee who determine the objection shall be final and binding and the objector shall, by lodging the objection, be taken to agree that such decisions shall be final and binding upon him or her and that no appeal therefrom shall lie upon any ground whatever. If the objection is determined against the objector his or her deposit shall be forfeited unless in the opinion of the Committee when determining the objection, when they may then order the return of the deposit. If the objection be determined against the objector he or she may also be liable to the Society for the amount of costs and expenses occasioned by the objection and the determination thereof, unless in the opinion of the Committee who determine the objection there existed good and reasonable ground for objection, when they may order to the contrary.

AdjudicationofPrizes13. In awarding the Prizes to Cattle,SheepandPigs, the Judges are particularly instructed not to take into consideration

the present value to the Butcher of the animal exhibited, but to decide according to their relative merit for the purpose of Breeding. They are also instructed to take into consideration the relative age of the different animals in each class. The Judges may withhold any prize where there is evident want of merit. Where there is only one Exhibit or pen of Exhibits shown in a Class the Judges may award the first, second or third prize according to the merit of the Exhibit or Exhibits exhibited. NoSecondPrizes will be awarded if there are not four entries in a class, unless the Judges shall recommend such Second or Third Prizes on the ground of Special Merit. The Judges are instructed to select a reserve exhibit in each class, provided there is sufficient merit, in case an exhibit to which a prize has been awarded shall be disqualified. No Exhibitor or other person, except the Stewards will be allowed to go near the Judges while making the awards.
