It is with great sadness that our Husband & Wife team (David & Dana Jones) have decided to resign from their roles as Vice Chairman and Events Co-ordinator / Membership Secretary. Their decision has been a tough one and has been brought about through David's health. David & Dana would like everyone to know that they have thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the Society and the active roles that they have played. They have made many true friends over the years, met so many lovely people and love the SWSHS family and everything it stands for. David & Dana are remaining as Committee Members so will still be supporting the SWSHS in any way they can, fitness allowing.

It has been brought to our attention that there is a scam circulating whereby people are having payments fraudently taken from their bank account. Bank statements are showing that the payments are being taken by a company calling themselves SWSHS.club .While we feel very sympathetic towards the people who have fallen victim to this scam, we feel that we must make it absolutely clear that this is, in no way, connected to South Wales Shire Horse Society and we can only advise people affected, to contact the Police to report it and obtain a crime number.

What a funfilled weekend we at SWSHS had, at the Steam Rally on the 4th & 5th of June. Promoting our Show for 2nd of July 2022. Meeting with all members of the public and thanking Chris Evans and Abergavenny Rotary for all their help and kindness during the weekend, they made us feel so welcome. The feedback we received from the Public was absolutely amazing and the memories we brought back to people and the stories they had to tell us, were second to none.
