Emmshouse and wurzel have one the two family tickets to this years Melplash Agricultural Show at The Showground, West Bay, Dorset on Thursday 23rd August by correctly answering the question "Who is the main sponsor for the heavy horse classes?" the answer being Palmers Brewery. There will be no livestock this year because of the Foot and Mouth scare but there is still plenty of stuff going on, see their website for further details www.melplashshow.co.uk

Showtime by Ma Baker

If you want a taste of the countryside
But you’re not sure where to go
On Thursday next, the 23rd
Why not try the Melplash show

We’re lucky it’s able to go ahead
What with the Foot and Mouth scare
But the Society people have been busy
Making sure there’s lots to see there

Jason Smyth and his motorbikes
With stunts to give you a fright
While the Guinot wing walking team
Do their stuff at such a height

The Rockwood Dog Display Group
Have brought clever dogs to play
And should the weather stay kind for us
A hot air balloon later that day

There’s Adam and his axe men
The countryside area too
Vintage cars and machinery
Plenty to see and do

So enjoy your day in the country
We hope you have a good time here
Make it a date in your diary
And come again next year
