        compete in any class, the prize money to be offered, the level of entry fees, the conditions of entry
        and exhibition, and all other matters connected with the Show.
    3.	The Board of Management shall approve the schedule of prize money for each year and send a

VETERINARY INSPECTION
22.	The veterinary inspectors of the Society will carry out spot checks of Livestock throughout the
     Show. Those animals originating directly from another member state will be checked as required
     by the provision of chapter ii of the council directive 90/425/EEC. All health documentation must
     be presented and the animals adequately identifiable.
23.	The Society’s inspectors or those appointed by DEFRA are authorised to exclude or place in
     isolation any animals which, in their opinion, are exhibiting any symptoms of contagious or
     infectious disease, or any other condition which they consider warrants its exclusion or whose
     identity cannot be adequately established. In such an event a certificate recording the findings
     of the inspector shall be handed to the person in charge of the rejected animal. Each exhibitor of
     livestock shall be responsible for payment to the Society for costs incurred as and for liquidated
     damages for any animal sent for exhibition which has to be placed in isolation because it is
     showing signs or symptoms of contagious or infectious disease, or any form of disease likely to
     prove dangerous to other animals. Exhibitors are responsible for ensuring in the event of the area
     from which entries are to be conveyed to the show being declared a movement prohibited area
     that such entries are not sent for exhibition.
24.	Veterinary treatment of animals whilst at the show. Antibiotics, inhibitory substances, and other
     prescription only medicines are banned at the showground unless they are administered under
     the supervision of the Society’s veterinary surgeons.
25.	Veterinary emergency treatment. It is a condition of entry that the Society’s veterinary officers
     may on their own authority, give to any animal such emergency treatment as they may consider
     appropriate in the event that the owner or his/her representative cannot immediately be found.
26.	Veterinary charges. Exhibitors will be required to reimburse the Society for the full cost of
     treatment, services and certification administered by the Society’s veterinary officers attending
     animals. Accounts will be rendered after the show.
27.	The Society vet will have the right to treat an animal if urgent attention is required and the owner
     cannot be found.
28.	Any owner of an animal, which may have been suffering from any contagious or infectious
     disease or which develops such a disease whilst on the showground is liable to compensate the
     Society for all expenses incurred in connection with any claims resulting from such diseases. The
     Society’s veterinary officers are authorized to refuse permission for any animal to be admitted
     to, or to have to be removed from, the showground, any animals affected with contagious or
     infectious disease or with disease, which, in their opinion, was likely to prove dangerous to other
     animals, to be put into the isolation unit. Concealment of any disease will render the exhibitor
     liable to disqualification.
29.	The certificate of the chief veterinary officer, whether as to age or soundness, shall be required
     only in cases where the judges are in doubt, or where the stewards may consider it necessary.
     The decision of the chief veterinary officer in such cases shall be final and conclusive; and in
     case it shall be against the animal to which a prize has been awarded, such animals shall be
     disqualified from receiving such prize.
30.	The Society reserves the right to test any livestock exhibits for the presence of hormones or illegal
     substances, which may affect the behavior, or performance of the animal in the ring. Refusal to
     submit a sample will be dealt with by the Society at their discretion.

       HELP US TO RECYCLE AND

       g green!
          As the organisers of the Royal County of Berkshire Show we
          are working hard to ensure their waste management plan
          is sustainable and eco-conscious, as the protection of the
          environment is essential to the future of the agricultural,
          horticultural, forestry and rural crafts industries.
          With thousands of people pouring through our gates and enjoying the amazing
          selection of food, drink and products on offer, the show can create a lot of waste.
          We work closely with a company who put our waste management plan into action by
          providing a good selection of coloured recycling bins across the showground during
          the show weekend, making it even easier for visitors to dispose of their waste.
          We’d like to go that one step further by working with you, our exhibitors, in reducing
          waste even more, and here’s just a few ways for you to think about:

               l Instead of offering plastic bags to visitors, why not provide paper bags or
                 offer reusable bags at a small charge.
               l If you’re offering refreshments, look into reusable or recyclable cups.
               l Please dispose of all your waste in the coloured recycling bins provided
                 across the showground during and after the Show.
               l Email receipts to your customers instead of printing them.
               l Try not to over-cater as this can result in unecessary waste.
               l Try to sort your waste into cardboard, plastic, tins etc
                  so when our contractor comes round to collect,
                  it’s disposed of quicker.
