Editor’s Letter

I

have been a city dweller

for all of my life, so the

Balmoral Show has not

really been something

that was on my radar.

To be frank, when it was

based in south Belfast, I

largely associated it with

traffic jams. Last month,

however, I decided to

pay it a visit. It has clearly

come on leaps and bounds since it moved

from the King’s Hall Complex. I’m sure I’ll be

contradicted, but I can’t think of any other event

of as large a scale in Northern Ireland. In order

to properly experience everything that the

show has to offer one would need to devote a

full day to it. Unfortunately, I was only able to

spend a few hours there on a Thursday evening.

Nevertheless, within the short period of time I

was there I was gob smacked by just how much

was going on. There were literally hundreds of

exhibitors and most aspects of life in Northern

Ireland were represented. Naturally, the show

attracts a lot of people from a rural background

but its appeal is much broader. To give you a

flavour turn to page 216 of this edition, where

we have a selection of images from the 2019

show.

I think there is just about enough room for

me to mention that voting closes in the Ulster

Tatler Awards on Sunday 23rd June. If you

haven’t had a chance to vote, please do so. If

you do you will be in with a chance of winning

a VIP trip to the awards. Just turn to page 58

or go to ulstertatler.com; it only takes a few

seconds.
