One of the oldest agricultural shows in Wales promises to be bigger than ever this year, thanks to a series of changes being implemented by its chairman.
Edward Morris, of Loveston Farm, St Twynnells, is the fourth generation of his family to take on the chairman's role.
So-called 'fur and feather' classes will return for the first time since 1931. Mr Morris, who produces 1,500 turkeys for the Christmas market, said there were seven new cups to present to the winners at the show on August 3rd. "This is an opportunity for people to exhibit their rabbits, chickens, bantams and ducks or their pigeons and caged birds.''
The sheep classes have also been revised with new classes for Texels, Suffolks and lowland and continental breeds.
There will also be a new area for local clubs and associations, like the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, the National Trust, Milford Haven Port Authority and the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme.
Hundleton AFC will hold five a-side football matches during the day.
Also appearing at the show will be Colin Gordon, three times winner of One Man and His Dog, whose sheepdogs will be showing how to round up a group of ducks.
A steam engine with a threshing machine will give a demonstration. Edward Morris' family has a long association with the show starting in 1838, when William Roberts was chairman.
During the Second World War his grandfather, Eddie Roberts, was chairman for two years. Mr Morris said he was honoured to follow the family tradition. "But I couldn't do it without the support of the committee and sponsorship from local businesses.''
