MID Devon Show committee, organisers of annual Mid Devon Show, is delighted to announce that its President for 2024 will be Ray Radford.

He was elected at the annual meeting of the Show Committee on January 12 at Moorhayes Community Centre, Lea Road, Tiverton.

Many will know Ray in regards to his work with Mid Devon District Council and Devon County Council.

Ray has also been involved with the show for more than 20 years, stewarding on Show day.

The Show committee looks forward to working with Ray and enjoying his guidance and wisdom during the next 12 months.

The President Elect for 2024 is Mr Richard Taylor.

His involvement with the Show stretches back to the very first event as the Show approached him for insurance in his position within NFU.

Becoming a chief steward within the Show, his guidance and leadership surrounding traffic and gates has been described as "immeasurable".

The Show committee said it looks forward to Richard bringing his enthusiasm to this senior role.
