SHOWSETTING
THE unique setting of Uppingham Fatstock Show was the start of Rutland FWC Christmas meeting, writes Jean Howells.
We all met in the Falcon Hotel overlooking the market square, and it seemed that everyone involved in farming in the vicinity was also there. What a friendly atmosphere, no wonder it takes all morning to do a bit of shopping in this delightful town as all the inhabitants seem to know each other and stop for a quick chat.
For the club it was a day of change. Isobel White who has been contact leader for 14 years was handing over the reins to Marian Croucher but not before the members presented her with a well deserved present for all her hard work. It is the generosity of spirit of these contact leaders and others like them that makes the FWC such a great organisation.
