THE Alton and North East Hampshire Agricultural Show 2010 was a real winner – the weather was perfect, encouraging more than 8,000 people to flock to Froyle Park to admire the animals and to enjoy the entertainment.

They were not to be disappointed – the main arena drew record breaking crowds, encouraged by the commentator Sarah Rouse, whose knowledge of livestock and countryside issues enhanced the day.
