The organising committee of the 2017 National Balmoral Championships launched their 30th Anniversary Show last week as the Belmont Hotel, Banbridge. Running from July 16th-19th, the flagship event of the Ulster Region will take place in the grass arenas at Balmoral Park.

Launching this year’s show, SJI chairman and show director Ray Buchanan welcomed everyone, particularly sponsors and officials, and paid tribute to those who set up the National Balmoral Championships. Buchanan’s enthusiasm for continuing the show is partly due to his enjoyment of “putting on a show for our sport and our members.”
