Annnnnnd, the Bandon Show is on this Sunday
Posted on May 18, 2007, by Conor O'Neill, under Bandon, Family.
It really is a fun day out. Most of the town seems to head up.
Fionn will love the animals, Sibéal will screech at the dogs and the eldest boys will demand ice-cream from the second they arrive.
I’ll take more pictures of huge cows which impress me every time. Hope to catch some show-jumping too.
Head towards Clon, turn right for Dunmanway/Recycling facility, right again about half a mile down and you hit it after another mile or two.

I think it is a super idea Quentin - as long as there are no “minders” or a bunch of sycophants!
We’ll be the ones with the five uncontrollable children still high on Coke and crisps after today’s communion.

My father used to sponsor something at this show many years ago and we used to be taken along on show day and had a really enjoyable time. Haven’t been to it in years and didn’t make last weekend’s due to travelling for the past week.
Quentin, I met one of your canvassers on Main St weekend before last (with the cool electric car) and pointed it out to him that you were listed as a PD candidate in an Irish Indo constituency roundup in an edition about 3 weeks ago. Does anyone do their homework???
FYI the Cork Summer Show is on sometime in June this year. This used to be a big affair years ago - a 3 day show! - but has downsized somewhat in recent years. Well worth a visit though for the Country kitchen section. Killer calories.

We didn’t make it due to post-communion exhaustion! I know rain showers are traditional but it must have been a quagmire on Sunday with all the rain. I hope they still had a successful day.

That’s a shame Conor, I was hoping that you’d upload a few photos of the showjumping cows!

Damn that would have been good. Question of the week - how high can cows jump and do electric prods help?

The organisers have invited all the candidates to come along and use the opportunity to meet their constituents, press the flesh, promise everything you ever wanted if we get in etc.
Do people want us to come along? Are ye sick of us yet?
