COMPLETION OF ENTRY FORMS
Entry forms may be obtained from the RWAS Office. To prevent any inconvenience and

(27th April 2016)
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ineligible or for entries which are withdrawn after the date of entry has expired.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.

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.
