Police reveal not a single ticket was issued at this year’s Turriff Show

Police have praised attendees of the Turriff Show for following the rules to ensure its success.

About 28,000 people flocked to the town for the show, which is one of the largest in the country.

In previous years, eager motorists have parked dangerously on grass verges near the gala to save on journey time, causing chaos.

And last year, 42 parking tickets were issued to vehicles around the show ground.

But police have revealed that no one attending this year’s show was fined for flouting the parking rules.

Inspector Jamie Harrison, of the Formartine community policing team, said yesterday the show had passed without major incident.

He said: “I know that on the Sunday, concerns were raised about the time people had to queue to get into the show car park.

“This is always going to be an issue when several thousand vehicles descend on the same road over a short period of time. I would urge people for next year to try and come early to the show and avoid the busy time between 10am and noon.

“I will be meeting with the show organisers, who I must say did an excellent job, and we will consider what we can do increase the flow of traffic into the car parks for next year.”

The officer also praised the show’s visitors which made the event a “fun, family event”.

A man and women were arrested however, in connection with an incident after the gala’s conclusion in the show ground.

Some young children were also separated from their parents in the show’s huge crowds, but were quickly reunited by officers.

This year’s event brought about 28,000 people to the town and was hailed by exhibitors and attendees.

Show secretary Helen Paterson said part of the event’s success was that it provided a packed day out.

“Regardless of what your age is, there’s something for everyone at the Turriff Show, whether you’re interested in the sport or ring entertainment, or the livestock,” she said.
