It is with great regret that, due to the continued adverse weather conditions and with animal welfare and the safety of all involved as our overriding priorities, we have taken the difficult decision to cancel the hound show this Thursday (25th June).
Despite working closely with our veterinary surgeons and putting extensive measures in place to safeguard the welfare of the hounds, the prevailing conditions have left us with no viable alternative.
After careful consideration, and in the best interests of the hounds, exhibitors, judges, officials, volunteers and spectators, we believe this is the only responsible course of action.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the Royal Welsh Showground for their flexibility, assistance and support with our last-minute adjustments, as well as for providing access to their excellent facilities. We are also extremely grateful to our veterinary team for their invaluable advice, guidance and ongoing support throughout this process.
Finally, we would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding over the past few days while we explored every possible option to enable the show to proceed and carefully monitored the ongoing forecast.
We kindly ask that you allow the committee a few days to discuss the next steps and consider our plans moving forward. We will be in touch with further information as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
