Each year following the show, the volunteer committee members get together to award the profits to the many deserving charities and good causes that work to improve the wellbeing of the local community.
Chairman of the Winslow Show Association, Dean White, said: “We have two aims - firstly to put on a hugely enjoyable show that welcomes all, and secondly to raise money to support the local charities upon which so many within our community depend.
"This year’s show was a huge success on both counts, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who visited and to our amazing volunteers, including the Sir Thomas Fremantle Cadets, Winslow Lions Club, Winslow Rotary Club, Buckingham & Winslow District Scouts and Edgcott & Winslow Young Farmers.”
