******COVID UPDATE FOR EQUINE CLIENTS******
* If you are self isolating or at all unwell DO NOT COME TO OUR PREMISES
* Do not arrive at either of our premises for ANY reason without phoning the practice first.
* Do not enter the front door of the premises without alerting a member of staff to your presence (by phone)
* If you have been given an appointment to bring your horse in to the clinic at Maybole, please arrive on time and park your vehicle, call the practice from your vehicle to inform them you have arrived. The vet (and a nurse) will come round to you and take the horse into the equine exam room. The vet will examine and treat your horse. You will then be asked to call the reception to pay over the phone and a nurse will bring your any medication back out to you. YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO ENTER THE BUILDING.
* We will still be carrying out yard visits to treat horses and we ask you to have your horse ready and waiting for us to minimise the amount of time we need to spend there.
- we would ask for there to be only one person present to hold the horse and that they be healthy and not self isolating
- if possible (weather dependent) we would prefer to examine your horse outside in a well ventilated area rather than in a small confined stable
* If you need a prescription for your horse, please call the surgery to order and pay for it and it will be left at a designated collection point for you to uplift at a specific time slot (to avoid contact with other clients).
* At this time we would ask you not to book your animals in for any non urgent procedures
* Our surgeries will no longer be open at weekends so please make sure you order and collect any prescriptions during the week. We will still be on-call for emergencies.
WE WILL NOT BEND OR BREAK THESE RULES FOR ANYONE, IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO COMPLY WITH THESE PROTOCOLS DURING THIS TIME, WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TREAT YOUR ANIMALS.
Thankyou for your co-operation and please stay safe.

Scotland’s largest agricultural event - the Royal Highland Show - has been cancelled.

17/03/2020

To all friends & supporters of Catrine Show,

Unfortunately due to the Coronavirus outbreak and the governments advice we have made the decision to cancel the 2020 show.
We believe that the health and safety of everyone involved is most important and we do not want to take any unnecessary risks.
We will be contacting all judges, sponsors and supporters throughout the next few days but if anyone has any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Please look after yourself and stay safe

Thanks
The Catrine Show Committee

Following discussion with the Directors it is with a very heavy heart that we regret to inform you we have taken the difficult decision to CANCEL the Ayr County Show 2020 taking place on Saturday 9th May at our super venue The Ayr Racecourse.

As you will all be aware from the media, the situation with Corona Virus is expected to worsen over the coming weeks.

We have a duty of care to everyone concerned; Directors, Committee Members, Judges, Exhibitors, Competitors, Contractors, Volunteers and Visitors and do not wish to add to the building pressure the NHS is already experiencing. We feel that we would be neglecting our duty to allow the Show to proceed by having crowds of people in close proximity.

Thank you to all of our Supporters, Sponsors and Advertisers.

Our Secretary Lorraine will be contacting everyone concerned over the next few days; please do respect this will take time. All monies already paid WILL be refunded.

We hope to see you all in 2021 and ask everyone to take care of themselves meantime.

Chairman
Ayrshire Agricultural Association

After much discussion, on behalf of the Dundonald Farmer Society committee, I regret to announce the cancellation of the 2020 Dundonald show.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our sponsors, entrants and judges with whom I will be in touch with in the coming days.

Look forward to a great 2021 Show.
