The reports of the Judges on the various classes judged by them at the late Show were used and approved and on the motion of Mr.O’Sullivan ,seconded by Mr. Chas MacDonald , a vote of thanks was passed to Col. Alexander who very kindly judges free of charge to the Committee.
A recommendation was sent from the Show Committee that the Summer Show of 1932 be held on the 29th & 30th June and a further recommendation to discuss the advisability of holding a three days Show .
On putting the recommendation to the meeting, no.1. was adopted, that the Show be held on 29th & 30th June, 1932. Mr. P. Crowley, who was not in time to hear the decision on this motion did not think the three days’ proposition should be turned down, as he saw no reason why a three day’s show would not be successful, and after further discussion it was decided on the motion of Mr. Crowley , seconded…
By Mr. Ross, that the matter be re-considered by the Show Committee. Mr. Frank Hayes suggested that a recommendation be sent to the Show Committee that Dog Racing should be included in the events taking place in the jumping enclosure , and , after some discussion, this was referred to the Show Committee ,as well as several other matters relating to the late Show.
A letter was read from the Secretary of the Mallow Agricultural Show, protesting against the holding of the Cork Show next year on the 29th June, a date on which the Mallow Show Committee had held their Show for the past thirty years .
The Secretary stated that in 1926 the same issue occurred. A meeting of representatives of both Show Committees was held in that year, and it was decided that the dates of the Cork Show be fixed to suit Mallow and it was agreed that Cork should get 29th June in 1932.The Secretary was directed to write informing the Mellow Committee that the Cork Show Committee could not see their way to depart from the date fixed for next years’ Show.
