Camrose Vintage Working Day promises something for everyone
Running from 10am to 6pm the show will be set across three fields and the committee is promising a packed programme aimed at all the family. Chairman Andrew James said the Gentle Giants and Friends Horses would be demonstrating and giving rides at the show for the first time. And Towy Valley Axe Racing Team would also be demonstrating how to carve wood with axes. Other attractions include a falconry display, steam engines and tractor and trailer rides. There will be vintage vehicles on show, sheep shearing demonstrations and a farrier will be showing how to change shoes on horses. The show will also host a novelty dog show. Mr James said: "There really is something for everyone, of all ages – we'll have the bespoke tent 'Educating Pembrokeshire children' (food story) to learn where their food comes from, where parents can sit with their children in a safe zone. There will also be a bouncy castle for children, too. "Across the field, there will be lots of interesting and different stalls, as well as a bespoke craft tent. "Throughout the day, the main show ring will have lots of activities – including the popular vintage parade of all the vehicles and the parade of the winners of the dog show. "This year we plan to have two children's tug-o-war contests – one in the morning and one in the afternoon. This is always a focal part of the day watching the fun that children have pulling against either a steam engine or an old tractor." If that wasn't enough there will be silage/grass demonstrations, an auto-jumble stalls, ploughing, land dressing preparations and seeding demonstrations predominantly using vintage tractors and machinery but there will also be Shire Horses to do some ploughing too. Mr James said: "It's incredible to think this show was started by a small group of people wanting to raise money for charities and, at the same time, wanting to demonstrate how the farming community had to make crops for the winter months to feed all the animals. "All of the money, made on the day, gets shared out to local charities and, to date, the committee has raised and donated more than £265,000." This year the main show sponsored is Prichard Holdings Ltd.
