The South Devon Herd Book Society wishes to thank the organisers

of the Suffolk County Show for their warm welcome to the South Devons’ National Show, and especially to Liz Payne for her valuable assistance.

Most importantly we are indebted to our Sponsors without whom the Show would not have happened, and we encourage all our visitors and members to acknowledge the Sponsors’ support.

The next National Show of South Devons will be held at the Royal Welsh Show in July 2019 and we look forward to seeing you there!
