Bright weather on the last day of the show saw the attendance reach 47,176 by mid afternoon taking the total over four days to 220,023 and organisers declared themselves delighted with the results. The attendance figures included 652 visitors from 30 overseas countries.
The chairman of the Royal Welsh board, David Lewis, paid tribute to the 1100 stewards who gave their services free of charge. Without their voluntary contribution, the show could not go on, he said. “Very many, especially those involved with stewarding outdoors, had the additional inconvenience of having to brave the elements. Running the show is a massive team effort involving numerous companies, organisations, sponsors as well as the permanent and temporary staff.”
The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society is continually improving the extensive exhibition halls and pavilions, the roadways and footpaths as well as draining the trade stand areas in order to combat poor weather.
In addition, the society might have to consider providing an artificial surface for the whole or part of the main ring on the showground at Llanelwedd to ensure that the judging and entertainment run as per programme and to alleviate the damage caused by bad weather. Cattle were withdrawn from the grand parade on health and safety grounds on the Wednesday and Thursday of the show after heavy rainfall left it muddy and slippery.
