CLOGHRAN CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW IMPORTANT UPDATE
Exhibitors, thank you for your support and entries so far for the Cloghran Championship show and our panel of progressing and first time judges.
As you may be aware, the Irish government has called a General Election for Friday November 29th, a date which has been speculated about for some months and which has now eventually been confirmed by the Government . This announcement has put the IKC in a difficult position as the Cloghran Championship show is due to take place on Saturday November 30th at the National Show Centre in Cloghran. The National Show Centre is used at each General Election and Local Election as a count centre and there is a significant financial boost for the venue and the IKC from use of the centre for the elections. With this in mind, the Board of the IKC has asked the Judges and Education committee who run the Cloghran Championship show to move the date of the show to Saturday December 7th at the show centre in order to ensure the show goes ahead albeit a week later. We are very aware that this will not be convenient to all exhibitors and others working in various capacities at the show but we can now put the uncertainty behind and say that the show goes ahead on Saturday December 7th.
For those exhibitors seeking a refund due to the date change we will be arranging this with the service provider as soon as possible.
Any change of judge due to unavailability on the new date will be posted over the next few days. Thank you to our judges who have been able to accommodate the change of date in their schedule.
We hope that you, our very important exhibitors will continue to support the show and the progressing judges.

Show Secretary for Cloghran Championship Show (organised by the Judges and Education Committee of the IKC)
