JUDGING TIMES:

LOST CHILDREN:
We would encourage everyone to have an agreed meeting point in place, in case children get separated from their minders. A good idea is to write the minders mobile number on the child’s hand, in case they get separated in the crowds. When all else fails, we will have the details announced from the Secretary’s Office at the H.Q. or at PA Station in the showgrounds, The St Johns Ambulance Service and PSNI will also assist lost children.

LOST AND FOUND:
Lost belongings may be found at the HQ office or the Police Station. Please watch the website and Facebook on the days after the show as we will list any found and unclaimed items. Many mobile phones turn up with no ID and some are locked and we are unable to trace owner please put some specific mark on your mobile so we can ensure it goes back to its rightful owner. 

MEDICAL ATTENTION:
