Southern Counties Entry Details


Southern Counties dogshow at the Newbury showground

The committee of Southern Counties Canine Association is delighted with the entry for their Championship show on 2nd, 3rd and 4th June which is up by
almost 300 dogs.

Passes will be sent out shortly and exhibitors are asked to ensure that their car parking tickets are clearly visible because the colour will dictate the entrance by which cars will enter the showground. Caravanners are asked to avoid arriving between 8am and 11am on the days of the show to avoid congestion.

The road works at the junction of the M4 and A34 have been completed but
the access to the road to the showground from the A34 has changed again so
exhibitors are asked to allow plenty of time for the last few miles of their
journey and move from the M4/A34 main roundabout on the A34 north slowly so
they do not miss the slip road.
