The show’s new president is Ian Holmes who has had a long association with the show results from his career at Bailey Smailes – the show’s honorary solicitors and sponsors of the Grand Parade.
He said: “I feel very honoured to assist in the guidance of the show for its next century and to continue my association with it which began in 1980.
“I’m hugely impressed with the commitment and hard work from the volunteer committee. I know they have a fabulous show planned for this year so do come on the day and if you’d like to get involved, especially in the few days prior to and after the show day when a lot of work and effort is required on a very tight time scale, get in touch via our social media channels.”
