Question time as Newry Show’s annual quiz set to take place

​The staring time is 8.00pm: the venue is Jerrettspass Village Hall.

And a fun night will be had by all.

All the proceeds raised from the event will go towards the hosting of the 2024 Newry Agricultural Show.

This year’s event will take place on lands at 12-18 Derrywilligan Road, Bessbrook, Newry on Saturday June 29th.

Newry Show chairman, Brian Lockhart commented: “The members of Newry Show Committee are delighted to confirm that our table quiz and raffle will take place on Friday 26th April at 8pm in Jerrettspass Village Hall.

“Everyone will be made more than welcome on the evening in question: it will be a great night’s craic!

“Admission is £5 per person, including light refreshments. Teams will be made up of approximately 6 people.”

All voluntary donations received on the evening of the quiz and raffle will go towards the running of this year’s Newry show.

Newry Agricultural Society held its first show in 1869 and has been providing an annual agricultural event ever since.

Brian Lockhart again: “Last year’s event was a tremendous success. The combination of an excellent site, perfect weather and a host of top quality attractions combined to attract record crowds to the event.

“One of the stand-out features of last year was the fact that so many families came along on the day.”

He added: “Newry Agricultural Show plays an important role in profiling the farming and food industries that contribute so much to our catchment area.

“We want to build on all of this for the future.”

“We are indebted to the support provided by the Cartmill family in providing us with a very suitable location.”

Brian is also conscious of the tremendous support traditionally received by Newry Show from sponsors and commercial exhibitors.

“And, again, we are building on all of this for 2024. The support that we have already received from companies and businesses making up the commercial sector in the Newry area has been tremendous.”

This year’s Newry Show will feature a comprehensive range of cattle, sheep horse/pony, goat, pig, dog home industries and other classes, all projecting the farming and rural way-of-life in the Newry area.

Brian Lockhart concluded: “All relevant schedules and entry forms are now available on the society’s web site.”
