BELGOOLY celebrated not only what’s good about horses, ponies and agricultural but also its 75th anniversary show last weekend amid fine weather.

Founded by John Dix and Marigold Slocock in 1941, Belgooly celebrated this milestone year with the cutting of a beautiful cake by show chairman John Stanley and show president Michael Ahern to mark this very special occasion. Primary schoolchildren also designed a special 75th anniversary card which was on display throughout the show and added greatly to the 800 exhibits in the extended bakery, floral, photography and art and crafts section.
