The roads are clogged with silage making teams, we’ve had a mini heat wave in May and since then frost, rain etc – it can only mean that the great British summer has arrived.
So we have to shake out the marquee and head for the agricultural shows. First off - this week and our second appearance at the Shropshire and West Mid show. Since the days when we dabbled a bit on the fringes of agriculture and before we’ve been committed to the idea of re-enforcing the link between producers, processors (that’s us) and customers.
We hope to broaden our horizon and persuade even more of you that becoming a regular visitor to The Walls is a rewarding and satisfying experience.

LEAKY SHOWCASE
Well, well, well, he would have been deeply proud of us; although I’m sure he’d have spotted the odd “bum note” in the middle of things!
The two showcase nights were truly brilliant, at least as good as some of the ones Andy put together and added to the extra pathos and significance of raising the inaugural funds all in all, they were spectacular.
The dust hasn’t completely settled on the treasurer’s ledger but we are reasonably confident that we have raised around £5,000; that’s an awful lot of combs and IZAL!
FASHION SHOW
Let me explain: we thought we worked in a fairly stressful and ego led industry but compared to the world of high fashion and photography we are pussy cats.
A monumental disagreement arose between two key delements of the show – end result with 3½ days to go we inherited the organisation of the show as well as the provision of the food and its service.
It was a spectacular success. The models (some our waiting on staff and daughters) were delightful and all in all even if we do say so ourselves it was a great night.
Thank you to all who helped.
