Chairmans Address
John O’Hara.
Dear Friends,
It is with great pleasure I welcome you on behalf of the officers and
committee of Bonniconlon Show and Gymkhana to our 69th show.
Building on the success of last year’s event, the show attracted a huge
attendance with average weather conditions. The show is designed as a
platform to present all aspects of Irish culture and agriculture for town and country alike. Our show is
now rated as one of the best events in the country with entertainment for young and old. This event
would not be possible without the generosity of our sponsors for their outstanding support over the
years and who still support us in what every way possible even in these hard times. To them we say
“Go raibh mile maith agaibh”
It is, without question the continuous commitment and tireless efforts of the exhibitors and competitors
who have supported us over the years. Thank you to Superintend Joe Doherty and staff of Ballina
Garda Station & our local Garda. Our judges, Civil Defence, I.C.A., Rally Marshalls, Foroige, G.A.A.
Tidy Towns, Mayo County Council, our hard working Secretary, Gerry and his helpers. A special
work of thanks to our land owners and anyone inconvenienced because of our show. And last but
not least our hard working stewards from far and near who work tirelessly for weeks before and after
the show to make it the successful event it is. A big” Thank You” to our vet on call for the day Fintan
O’Donnell, to our local Solas team, Rural Social Scheme and Tus and their supervisors Paschal Tuohy,
Gerry Murphy and Elizabeth Fair.
We are delighted to host the All Ireland Super Suckler Cow and Calf Championship with a prize fund
of €3500. This competition will be judged as a loose pening competition. I would like to thank the Irish
Charolais Cattle Society for hosting and collecting the sponsorship for this competition.
This year the show committee has decided to move our showing classes for cattle and sheep to a new
and better location. Hopefully it will be better for exibitors and spectators. We are delighted to host
the All Ireland Home Cook final at our show, finalists from each province will participate along with a
qualifier which was chosen from the ploughing championships in 2017.
Mayo Enterprise Board is inviting food companies to display their products in the Marquee again this
year.
On behalf of the committee I would like to extend sincere sympathy to all families who have lost loved
ones in the past year. I would like to remind people that safety is something that we have to be very
aware of. I appeal to you all, be it spectators or exhibitors to acknowledge the directions of our safety
officers and stewards, notices and public announcements.
On behalf of all involved we wish you an enjoyable day at our show and a safe journey home. Hope
the sun will shine.
Thanks,
John O’Hara

Important Notice to Animal Owners involved in showing animals
The Irish Shows Association would advise all Animal Owners who have their Animals Insured to have the
Insurance Cover extended to cover them while showing Animals at Shows, we understand that it costs very little
or nothing at all depending on who you have insurance with.
If you are one of the few who don’t have cover we would advise that you think about putting it in place for this
purpose it may be well worthwhile.
The reason for us giving you this advice is to protect yourself in the event of your animal lashing out, and injur-
ing someone or damaging someone’s property, if that were to happen, and it is established that your animal was
out of your control you may be held responsible, or partly responsible for any injury or damage caused & may
end up paying all, or part of any settlement reached.
