Llanfair Caereinion & District Show in Powys has appointed a new chairman.

During the annual general meeting on November 19, Lloyd James was elected to the position for the next three years, taking over from David Oliver.

Hedd Evans has now taken on the role of vice-chair.

Mr Oliver, who served longer than anticipated due to the COVID-19 pandemic, extended his gratitude to the committee for their support.

He expressed pride in having chaired the show in the same year his father, Des Oliver, served as president.

In further developments, Arwel Rees is set to be the show president in 2025, with Gill Kightley elected as president-elect.
