An animal calving at full term should be placed immediately in the approved isolation accommodation or returned immediately to its premises of origin after receiving permission from the Society. If the owner wishes to return it to the cattle lines he may, at the discretion of the Show Secretary or his nominee, arrange for a blood sample and vaginal swab to be taken privately and examined at an approved laboratory. If both the Rose Bengal Plate Test (RBPT) and microscopical examination of a smear made from the swab are negative, the animal may then leave isolation. Welsh Government will not be responsible for any fee or other charges incurred in this respect. Animals calving prematurely or aborting must immediately be placed in the approved isolation accommodation and the AHVLA at the Showground will be informed by the Show Secretary. If an animal calves or aborts before it can be isolated, full precautions must be taken to isolate and disinfect any possibly contaminated standings, bedding, utensils and vehicles. The AHVLA will serve a BS 27 Isolation Notice on the owner or person in charge and arrange an investigation (either by an OV) ensuring that the full range of samples is obtained. The animal under investigation will remain in isolation whilst on the Showground. Once fit to travel, it can return home or remain in isolation until the end of the Show. If the animal is moved before the BS 27 Notice is lifted, a Movement Licence will be required, obtained from the AHVLA. The AHVLA for the Show will notify the AHVLA of the Division of the registered premises of the circumstances of the abortion so that a further BS 27 can be served isolating the animal pending the results of further laboratory investigations. All other bovine animals from the same registered premises will not be allowed to compete further in the Show until negative results for an RBPT and microscopical examination of the smear from the aborting animal have been received. The degree of direct and indirect contact between the animal(s) under investigation and all other cattle on the Showground will be assessed and appropriate measures taken.

Cash/Cheque in respect of 2016 Membership Subscription. Fully completed Direct Debit Instruction (used to arrange payment of Membership

Subscription on 1st February in subsequent years). 18. ENTRY CONDITIONS - SPECIAL PRIZES

No entrance fee is charged to a member or non-member for a special prize, championship prize or challenge cup, but no exhibit can be entered to compete for a special prize, championship prize or challenge cup, unless already entered in a class for which an entry fee is chargeable. No prize money will be awarded for special prizes unless printed under the relevant section in the schedule.

19. CLOSING DATE OF ENTRIES 27th April 2016 Particular attention is directed to the fact that dates stipulated for the closing date of entries will be very strictly adhered to. Late entries will NOT be accepted.

20. COMPLETION OF ENTRY FORMS Entry forms may be obtained from the RWAS Office. To prevent any inconvenience and delay, applicants for entry forms are requested to name the kind of stock they are proposing to enter. No stock will be accepted for exhibition unless the certificate of entry, filled in upon the official entry form, completed and signed by the owner in the manner directed and shall have been delivered to the RWAS Office or sent (postage paid) direct to the same on or before the closing date of entries.

21. ELIGIBILITY OF ENTRIES All exhibitors and exhibits must be registered with their respective Breed Society. All horses, except for foals, entered in Sections requiring them to be registered, should be formally registered, with the registration number supplied by the closing date of entries (27th April 2016)

22. RESPONSIBILITY OF EXHIBITORS Exhibitors are alone responsible for the accuracy and eligibility of their entries. Entry fees are not returnable to an exhibitor who enters an animal in a class for which it is ineligible or for entries which are withdrawn after the date of entry has expired.

Exhibitors are expected to behave responsibly at all times, any irresponsible misconduct or abuse of Health and Safety regulations by exhibitors to their exhibits, or towards any Society stewards will be dealt with as defined in the current Livestock Rules & Regulations (1, 10, 13, 65 & 66). All exhibitors should note the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992, which requires co-operation and co-ordination between all exhibitors and the RWAS. The requirements on both are to carry out adequate risk assessments covering the work to be done. It is then necessary to implement any procedures as required by the above legislation, and also inform all those concerned of these assessments and procedures.

Animals which are known to be wild or fractious by nature must not be brought to the Showground.

Animals which are subject to restrictions under the Animal Health Act 1981 (as amended) or the Animal and Animals Products (Import and Export) (England and Wales) Regulations 2000 will not be allowed onto the Showground.

Exhibitors in all sections (except goats) are not permitted to enter an animal in any class, which is to be judged by a person who has or had a financial or other interest in the animal, or which has stood in his or her yard. Exhibitors should adhere to the specific rules of their relevant breed society on this matter, where such rules are available. The onus of complying with this regulation rests entirely on the exhibitor. In all Interbreed Championships the onus rests on the exhibitor to stand down if the interbreed judge has or had a financial or other interest in the animal or if it has stood in his or her yard.

23. DATES OF BIRTH The ages of the cattle are (except where otherwise specified) calculated to the first day of the Show, but horses, sheep and pigs will be duly classified by the age estimated from 1st January in each year (thus a foal born at any period in 2015 becomes a yearling on the 1st January 2016). The exact date of birth of each animal must, wherever possible, be stated on the entry form, in order that the judges may take the actual ages into consideration in deciding upon the relative merits of the animals in each class.

24. PROPERTY OF EXHIBITORS Every exhibit must at the closing date of entries be the bona fide property of the person or persons in whose name(s) the entry appears in the catalogue, except in the case of an animal contractually leased or on hire, or by prior special permission of the Board of Directors and must remain so until the end of the show.

25. SUBSTITUTIONS An exhibitor who has made an entry of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs or goats in a particular class, will be permitted, up to the 1st June, to withdraw the entry of such animal and to substitute for it an entry of another animal in the same class which was his or her bona fide property at the time of his or her original entry. The additional fee will be £1.00 for each substituted entry. No substitutions will be accepted after 1st June (except as provided for under Rules & Regulations 26 below).

26. SPECIAL SUBSTITUTIONS In the event of any animal duly entered for the Society's Show becoming ineligible for exhibition as a consequence of restrictions imposed by the National Assembly for Wales Agricultural Department, the Board of Directors reserves the right to allow the owner of such animal to substitute another one for it. In the event of substitution after the Official Catalogue has gone to press, full particulars of the substituted animal shall be displayed on its box, stall or pen.

27. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES Any livestock exhibitor shall pay to the Society for any costs incurred for liquidated damages if any animal which he or she exhibits is, to his or her knowledge, suffering from

any contagious or infectious disease, and for each and every such animal if more than one.

28. STOCK FOR SALE Exhibitors are invited to indicate on the entry form whether the entry is offered for sale. This information will appear in the Official Catalogue.

29. CORRECTNESS OF ENTRY Every exhibitor shall prove the correctness of his or her certificate of entry to the satisfaction of the Stewards if and when called upon by them to do so. Failing to furnish the required proof, he or she may be prohibited from exhibiting. Any prize, if awarded, may be withheld and the award cancelled. Any animal found at the Show incorrectly ear marked will be removed from the Showground. Exhibitors should note that in the event of a dispute the Society reserves the right to carry out DNA testing.

30. CORRECTNESS OF CLASS ENTRY The judges, with the sanction of the Stewards, will withhold prizes from exhibitors whose animals are entered in the wrong class, but if an exhibitor can prove to the satisfaction of the Stewards who can refer to the original entry form, filed in the Livestock Office on the Showground, that an entry has been catalogued in the wrong class through a clerical error of the staff or through a printer's error, the Stewards are empowered to have such exhibit judged in the class intended by the exhibitor.

31. PROOF OF ENTRY No exhibits will be received at the gate unless the official entry document is shown as proof of entry.

32. ADMISSION TICKETS Exhibitors must show their exhibitors admission ticket each time they enter the Showground. No-one shall be allowed to enter the Showground without the correct tickets and passes. The exhibitor will be responsible for the proper use of the tickets and passes issued to his or her attendants. In case of transfer, or other improper use of a ticket or pass, the exhibitor may be required to pay a fine of £30.00 for each case during the event or be referred to the Society’s Disciplinary Panel following the Show.

33. CONDITIONS OF ADMITTANCE Persons are admitted to the Showground at their own risk and vehicles and their accessories and contents are admitted to and left in the Show car parks at the owner's risk, and, while every endeavour is taken to ensure the safety thereof, the Society will not (save for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Society, its servants or agents) be responsible for personal injury (whether fatal or otherwise) loss of or damage to property and any other loss, damage, costs and expenses however caused.

34. CAR PARKING CONDITIONS Persons are admitted entry to the Show car parks at their own risk and vehicles and their accessories and contents are admitted to and left in the Show car parks at the owner's risk, and, while every endeavour is taken to ensure the safety thereof, the Society will not (save for death or personal injury caused by the negligence of the Society, its servants or agents) be responsible for personal injury (whether fatal or otherwise), loss of or damage to property and any other loss, damage, costs and expenses however caused.

There will not be a fee for exhibitors using their vehicles for accommodation.
