of £5,500. The show remained there until 1927 when
the Council (the ruling body of the Society) changed
show-day from Wednesday to Saturday as being more
likely to attract a better gate.

It is interesting to note that for the first time too in
1927, the Council decided to take out an insurance
policy against wet weather. This possibility had been
debated on many previous occasions, but it was always
felt to be hardly worth the relatively high premium.
