Published for the ASAO by Graham Walton Publishing Ltd

The Association of Shows and Agricultural Organisations (ASAO) is a remarkable organisation that provides invaluable support to numerous charities across the UK. As Chairman, I am honoured to lead this organisation and work alongside our dedicated Council and staff to support you, our members. Together, we offer guidance, advice, and influence national regulations to ensure they work alongside our members.

This year, the Association has enjoyed great success with a strong membership base. Our monthly catchups remain popular, and our influence at the national level continues to grow. We now sit on several decisionmaking committees to ensure new regulations align with our members’ needs and introduced at the right time. The annual conference saw record attendance, with the new format being well-received. By organising the conference in-house, we have streamlined the process and created a consistency between annual events.

The future of Agricultural Shows is not guaranteed; we must work diligently to build successful events each year. By collaborating, sharing ideas, and supporting one another, we can continue to thrive. This spirit of collaboration is the cornerstone of ASAO - Bringing people together and working as a family of Shows is one of the ASAO’s fortes.

Behind the scenes, we are fortunate to have two exceptional individuals supporting the organisation and our members. Pam Clements, who joined ASAO in June, has been a breath of fresh air with her calm

and meticulous approach, proving to be a great asset. Paul Hooper OBE, now in his 30th year, is the rock of the organisation, always available with his wealth of knowledge. Sadly, Paul will be retiring in November. With a strong business plan in place, we will ensure the new CEO has the tools needed to succeed. I want to thank Paul for his outstanding dedication to the Association; he is truly one in a million.

Looking ahead, our members have an exciting year ahead but one that will come with challenges such as increased costs. In true ASAO style, we will tackle these challenges together and support you throughout. I wish you all the best for the year ahead, I hope for sunny days, busy Showgrounds and happy visitors.

Since relaunching in 2022 we have made much better use of our ASAO membership. I personally have found the networking opportunities and learning days incredibly helpful and have formed some good links with other local shows allowing us to help and support each other.

Nantwich Show

The ASAO is like a comfort blanket for those of us working on our own as show secretaries. There is always someone with an answer, an idea, or even just a “you’ve got this” when the occasional overwhelming moment happens. The feeling of support and being in the same boat from people doing what you do is a lovely safe feeling. Hadleigh Show
