ROYAL SHOW DILEMMA
SIR,—Thc solution to the Royal Show dilemma, so ably described by Robert Hodge, is surely this : no more Royal Shows, either permanent or peripatetic.
Instead, the Royal Agricultural Society should be present at all the important agricultural shows, in. including Smithfield and the Dairy Show. This would give the Society an opportunity of staging an important exhibit showing, for example, the most recent developments in agriculture. A club restaurant could also be provided as a meeting place for members. The Society's present income would surely allow them to do all this in a first-class way at a fraction of the cost of the present Royal Show, which is doing nothing to enhance the Society's historic reputation .—Yours faithfully,
MICHAEL GAVIN
The Farmers' Club, Whitehall Court, SW!
