The 126th Bishop Wilton Show will be remembered as one of the wettest in
r¢c¢nt memory. The Principal effea of the FM)or weather wa5 on vtsilor
numbers, with attendance well down on pr¢vious years. However torrenttal
doiNfftwur didn't darn￿n the spints of all those that did brave the weather
to attend the show. The feedback was overwhelmingly ￿SItiVe. with many
of the trade stands, visitors and exhibitors alike, already intimating that they
want to come back next year. The hea￿ rain sent ￿Ople into the tenls and
the bar in large numbers. Many of Ihe Craft and Trade stands repx)rted
fabulous sales. with several deterniined to Stay until ih¢ end The Gait Inn,
provid¢rs of th¢ bar, should have been more than delighted with the result!
Tent classes of ty￿$ were very well suprA)rt¢d. Throughoui ihe day
there was always plenty of aclivity in ihe horse and pony arenas. Having
only recenily been reintroduced. this area continues to bain in popularily.
Els¢wh¢re the sh¢q) classes were also very wpular and always had a Crowd
around ihem. Sheep agility, a Crowd favourite. added to the fun and
encouraging the next generation of handlers. New shearer Richard Clifford
provided an excellent shearing dcmonslration as well. Understandably
numbers for the vintsge cars and tractors were down this year, given the
weather.
By la* afternoon the rain heavy for us lo run the wtato themed
'Farniing through the Ages, demonsiraiion. Nevertheless, Ihrou&ih the
generosity of a few local farn)ers and Grimrne in Market Weighton we had
some fabulous machines to look at.
We w￿en't short of enlcrtainment wilh many favourites back by ￿pular
demand including Jofers Hall Viking demon5tratton. Guiding Sparks Cirus
and the Purple Pig Company. Hu8ely wpular were Mane and Paddy
P¢nnock and ih¢ir Percheron horses.
The Beast run was back. with a slightly amended, but boggy course. Two
competitors completed the whole cours¢ in cricket whites. includinb bats
and ￿d$. raising awareness for the Ruth Strauss Foundation.
Music was provided on the bandstand from Deke Rivers and the wonderful
Malton White Star band. all ivho carried on playing valianily through the
rainl Finally. the Habitual Drunkards in played out the day in the bar.
The 'Farniing through the Age5, theme clearly resonates with ihe visitors.
The fundamentsl ¢ihos is lo boih enlertain and educate. Next year ihe th¢me
is grass and hay production which byives us great opp)rtunity to ¢ducate
about different grass s￿cleS. animals and th¢ technology used to produce
il. Ii is a cost-effe¢tiv¢ enl¢rtainment too.
Looking ahead, we will continue to develop the o￿Tating infrastruclur¢ and
fin¢ tune the layout, mindful of changing legisl3lion (Martyn's Law
e5E¢cially). reviewing gate security, on field vehicle movement5 and
'cketing arrangements. We are also mindful that w¢ should be prepared for
all weather eventualities. How do we hold a successful show in the rain?
The committee have Vol￿ to S￿nd capital on upjatinb the websit¢ with
providers Wcbcetra. Similarly, licket txx)king and entrance arrangyements
are continually reviewed to M￿lM15e the use of technology to simplify and
automale wherever w)ssible.
This year we've had some terrific SUp￿rt from local businesses, with some
new swnsors. A detern]in¢d and coordinated effort to increase Vice
President donations Wds very cffective too. This evenl Cannot run without
the bvenerosity of our s￿nSors. Vice Presidents and volunteers. Thanks

I have reviewed the books and records for the above charity and can confirm that the income and expenditure for the year ending 31st October 2025 and the assets and liabilities as at 31st October 2025 are recorded to show a true and fair view. 

Furthermore, there are sufficient reserves to consider the operation a going concern. 

Yours sincerely, 


Julia Gronnow 

Management Accountant.
