For the sixth year in a row the GSPCA attended the West Show last month.
Once again our stall was full of great games & GSPCA goods.
Every year we have a great time enjoying a wonderful local event whilst raising funds on our stall to help the many animals in our care.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “The West Show is always an amazing summer event and we attended for the 6th year in a row with our GSPCA stall.”
“A huge thank you to all of the volunteers that helped, the West Show committee and also all that supported our GSPCA stall which helped raise just over £1000 for the 500+ animals in our care.”
More about the West Show -
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.
