Show secretary pleased to see new names on entry list
The secretary of the Royal Manx Agricultural Show says entries for this year's competition classes have been encouraging.
Carol Kennaugh says numbers are on par with previous years, despite challenging weather conditions impacting the farming community earlier this year.
This year's show, which takes place at Knockaloe Farm in Patrick on Friday and Saturday, includes a new hobby horse class for all ages.
Carol told Manx Radio it's been nice to see some new names on the entry list:
Island-based Strix factory to close
'Massive chef shortage' on the Island
Bride Commissioners organise drop in session about NCAS funding
Manx Care hopeful new offer will be accepted amid looming industrial action
Second candidate declares for Douglas East
