Lochs Agricultural Society - Lochs Show

Lochs Agricultural Society - Lochs Show Lochs Agricultural Society In 2001 the Society was reconvened and has since operated a very successful Show each year.

The Lochs Agricultural Society (SC043297) became a registered charity in 2012 and their main objective is to run the Lochs Agricultural Show and maintain the Lochs Showground for the benefit of the local community. The Lochs Show is held on the 4th Saturday of July at the Lochs Showground in Laxay, Kinloch and is one of the main agricultural shows on the Island, attracting over 1500 people every y

ear. The Lochs Agricultural Society was originally established in the 1950’s to showcase agricultural practices and community crafts in the area and operated the annual Lochs Show from then until 1973 when the Committee was dissolved. The Lochs Show, as it is commonly known, is very much part of the summer Show season in Lewis and is a very well attended and well run event. The Show grows every year and we not only showcase local produce and livestock we also support also provide a numerous opportunities for local charities and groups to fundraise for their own causes on the day. The Committee is heavily dependent on local Groups and individuals to help with Show day and background organisation

The main aims of the Lochs Agricultural Society are:
a. To promote an annual agricultural and sporting event open to Lewis and Harris;
b. To organise and arrange exhibitions, displays, training, lectures and other events relating to the work of the Society;
c. To support other local community groups;
d. To raise and hold funds towards the furtherance of the above aims
e. To take all other lawful steps as shall be deemed necessary towards the fulfilment of the aims of the Society;
f. The provision, maintenance and improvement of a Showground amenity for the benefit of the community of Lochs

🚘CAR PARKING HELPERS NEEDED 🚘
We are looking to try and secure a rota of willing volunteers who would be able to take an hour or two (no more!) helping with the Car Parking at the Show…we are going to need around 12 volunteers to make this happen..

If you are interested in helping out, please contact the page and let us know your availability - we would need car park attendants from around 11am till 4pm.

We have three main car parks, two of which are in fields, so you will need to be able to direct people into spaces and sometimes help out some drivers who may not be confident driving over that terrain.

If you (maybe with a friend or two!) could help it would be amazing. We will give you free access to the Show and refreshment vouchers for your help.

We look forward to hearing from you!!! Very much 😊

We are starting to think about all the jobs that are needing done before Show Day on 25th July, starting this Saturday 2nd and Monday 4th with painting the inside wall panels of the big shed…
🫟If anyone is handy with a paintbrush or roller and would like to pop along for an hour or so then please message the page 🫟

As always we are so thankful for all the volunteers that give their time for the Lochs Show, if you feel you could volunteer some time either in the run up to the Show or on the Day - there will always be jobs to match your skills set and capabilities!

In particular we will be looking for folk to:
- help with grass cutting and strimming in the week before the Show
- help with the er****on of Marquees in the week of the Show
- help with setting up tables on the Friday before the Show
- help with registrations on the Friday night and Saturday morning of the Show
- take a shift on the BBQ during the Show day
- run the kids games - zorb balls etc on the day
- take a shift to drive the Pirate Ship quad ride on the day
- help with car parking marshalling on the day.
and lots more!!!

If you think you could help with any of these tasks, please get in touch.

We can’t run the Show without a huge voluntary effort.

All volunteers get lunch and drinks vouchers to use at the Show.
