"Having to cancel because of foot-and-mouth in 2001 knocked us back badly but the debts have been paid off and we are making a profit.

"The society's aim was to put £150m in the bank ready for a rainy day and that is in place, so from now on we can spend our profits and knock down some of the old buildings here and put up some new ones."

Mr Crossman said the absence of cattle, sheep, pigs and goats would be a sad loss, but he said the show organisers were determined to provide an entertaining event.

Show general manager, Malcolm Crossman, explains how the show has bounced back, despite livestock movement restrictions, and what it has to offer.

Malcolm Crossman, general manager of the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society, said a building technician had been appointed and a planning application would soon be submitted.

He anticipated that construction work could begin next autumn."If we get all the design work completed and the planning and building contractor in place we should be in a position to start work then," he said.
