CUPS/SHIELDS
Cup and Trophy competition winners will receive a card notifying them of the trophy that they have won from
the class steward / judge. Exhibitors should take the card to the Secretary’s Tent if they wish to take the cup/
trophy home. Exhibitors will be required to present their ID (driving licence/passport) at the Secretary’s Tent in
order to be issued with the cup/shield on show day. The details written on the cup card must match the ID. No
cups/shields will be allowed to leave the site if the exhibitor does not have proof of ID. Light Horse Exhibitors
will be required to pay a deposit of £100 (per exhibitor) should they wish to take their cup/shield home. The
deposit will be returned by the Show Society once all the cups/shields under that exhibitor’s name have been
returned undamaged and in good condition the following year, as requested by the Society. There will be a
substitute cup presented within the ring for exhibitors to have a photo opportunity should they not wish to take
the official allocated cup home.
Donkey and Heavy Horse Exhibitors are not required to pay a deposit due to the close association between the
exhibitors and stewards in the area and them following up cup collections, however they must present ID as
above. The full cup policy can be found at: www.romseyshow.co.uk/policies
