For the fifth year in a row the GSPCA attended the West Show which was held on Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th August 2016 and from all at the Animal Shelter we would like to say a huge thank you to all involved with what was a wonderful event.
Our GSPCA stall had all the favourite games, pet supplies and goods on sale and helped raise over £1800 for the many animals in our care and a huge thanks to all that donated and supported our very busy stall.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said "From all at the GSPCA we would like to say a huge thank you to the organisors and all that supported the West Show last week where we had a lot of fun and were kept extremely busy on our stall."
"Thanks to Kevin, Jo, Joseph, Alex, Donna, Lorna, Yvonne and all the others that helped over the two days and we look forward seeing many of our wonderful volunteers at the North Show tomorrow."
"The money raised goes towards helping the hundreds of animals at the GSPCA and the 3000+ we help every year."
"We are always looking for volunteers to help at our many events and please do get in touch if you are interested in helping."
If you would like to help volunteer of support us we would love to see you on our stall at the North Show or at any of our events.
The West show is arguably Guernsey’s premier agricultural and horticultural show. Held annually since 1913 the West show is a traditional country show with many modern aspects, and this year being the centenary it promises to be bigger and better than ever.
The show this year has the main two days as usual on the Wednesday and Thursday with the usual tented competitions and animal competitions together with the arena entertainment and side displays.
The horse competitions all take place on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday prior to the show, with the exception of the harness showing classes and the carriage driving and scurry classes which take place on the Thursday of the show.
Held since 1985 on a site of approximately 35 acres at the former L’Eree aerodrome, the West show is the highlight of the summer for many from the western parishes who look forward to meeting up with friends they haven’t seen since the previous year and also of course people from all over the island and visitors alike. Crowds of 8,000 over the two main days are not unusual.
