Summer Show Review

The annual agricultural shows across East Lothian, the Borders and Northumberland are a social highlight for many of our clients and associates, we were delighted to support both the Haddington Show and the Border Union Show again this summer.

The Haddington Show – Saturday 29 June

GWA has a longstanding relationship with the Haddington Show and we were proud to be joint main sponsor this year with Turcan Connell.

This year’s event took place on Saturday 29 June at the East Fortune Race Circuit. After a blustery day setting up on the Friday, thankfully the Saturday of show day was calm and the sun shining. The stand was busy from the off and we hosted many clients for the ever popular lunchtime hog roast.

It was great to see so many clients and friends and to catch up over refreshments.

The Border Union Agricultural Show – Friday 26 & Saturday 27 July

A highlight of the agricultural calendar for the Scottish Borders and Northumberland the Border Union Show took place on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 July. A traditional farming show at heart, with livestock parades, competitions and rural skills demonstrations, there were also over 175 trade stands, a food fair, craft tent and children’s fun fair.

We had a great couple of days at the Border Union Show ground. Our stand and marquee were busy over the two days, whilst there was a bit of shower dodging, a great time was had by all. Our hospitality, refreshments, hog roast and tray bakes were as popular as ever.

Thank you – 
There is a lot of work that goes into the summer shows in the months running up to the two events, behind the scenes planning, logistics and over the actual show days themselves. It really is a case of all hands on deck and teamwork. Thanks to all our staff who worked to make these events successful and to those who attended over the weekends.
