THE 2015 Barbon Show has been hailed 'a great success'.

Apart from a 20-minute shower around noon, the day was generally fine and there were 'good entries' in every class, show secretary Pauline Bainbridge reported.

She said sheep dog entries were the highest for a number of years.

The show was held on Saturday at Barbon Park.
