Newport Show report and results

Thousands of people made the most of the glorious sunshine to turn out for the 101st Newport Show and help make it a "record-breaking" extravaganza of agriculture.

More than 20,000 people flocked to the event held at Chetwynd Deer Park on Saturday. Organisers today hailed the show a success and said crowds were up by almost 6,000 on the previous year.

Scott Dobson, show president, said: "It has been a fantastic day. We have had a record-breaking attendance and a record number of livestock, sheep and cattle entries.

"I've had a very enjoyable day and I have to say a big thank you to all the volunteer staff who work so hard to make the show so enjoyable.

"The weather has been just perfect and everyone has enjoyed themselves well into the afternoon."

The working hunter classes took centre stage on Saturday morning followed by a theatrical display by The Knights of the Damned.

But the highlight for many visitors was the performance by freestyle motorcycle display team the Bolddog Lings.

Show-goer Sue Beeston, from Goldstone, said: "The day has been wonderful. It really is just a fantastic day out.

"The amphitheatre here is the most lovely setting. It's a little gem in Shropshire. I've been coming here for over 50 years and it's the one day in the calendar you do not want to miss.

"You see friends that you do not get to see at any other time in the year. There is a real sense of community and so much going on."

Stan and Marian Whitehouse travelled from Sheffield for the show. Mr Whitehouse said: "We know some friends nearby so we come down most years ."
