There was a terrific crowd at the recent AGM of Tullow Agricultural Show Society and all speakers extended a warm welcome to some new and fresh faces. The Society traditionallly held its Annual General Meeting in December but to facilitate proper accounting procedure the AGM is now held during the month of January. The meeting was chaired by President Eileen Doyle, who said how nice is was to have one of our founder members - Mr Garrett Moore, - at the meeting. She remarked how lucky we remain to have the splendid Coppenagh grounds still at our disposal and complimented the Stanley and O Toole families for assisting us in so many ways around show time, and indeed throughout the year. Norah Burgess, Hon Secrertary read a great account of our previous AGM and thanked so many people for being available to her to lessen the huge work load that piles up particularly in the 3/4 weeks around the show date. She wished all the hard working committee the health and well being to repeat the exercise for 2012. Chairman Peter Sutton thanked all neighbours, landowners Gardai, and stewards who help make the day run as smoothly as it does, and it is a terrific testament to all concerned that we hosted another incident free day. Mary Maher, Accountant , produced a very healthy set of accounts for last years show and is happy to stay on baord for 2012. Patrons for the coming year are, Alan Young, Mon B Byrne, Rev Orr, and Fr A Leahy., as well as the Stanley and O'Toole families. President for 2012 is Eileen Doyle, Chairman Peter Sutton, Hon Sec Norah Burgess, Treasurer Rose Bolger. Meetings will be held on 1st wed of each month in Tara Arms at 8.30. This years show will be held on Sunday August 19th 2012. Many shows were in great quandry regarding dates as due to the Olympics being help in London the Horse show is being held much later than traditionally and actually will only finish the day of our show in Tullow . While it might have some effect on the hunter classes we are hoping it will be compensated by more local children bringing along their ponies and perhaps even having a better chance of being competitive, so every cloud has a silver lining. However our chief steward in the Horse Section Aisling Carter is our horse expert and is always available for chat and information on 0860873729 or e mail aislingcarter@gmail.com.
