SHEEP – SPECIAL REGULATIONS THE REFUND GUARANTEE Moreton Show Society will refund the entry fees of cattle and sheep exhibitors who are unable to exhibit because they are subject to an Animal Health Statutory Notice, particularly in case of T.B. Blue Tongue and Schmallenberg Virus. Similarly, if entries are made in the expectation of passing a test, but this does not happen, a refund will be made. Please telephone the Show Office on 01608 651908 as soon as the problem arises so the cost of unwanted standings and other resources may be saved. 1.
