Antrim Agricultural Society selected Parkinson’s UK in Northern Ireland as the recipient of its charity donation this year.

£1,000 was presented to the local representative of the research and support charity that aims to improve the lives of everyone affected by Parkinson’s, at the recent launch of this year’s Randox Antrim Show that takes place on Saturday 22 July at Shanes Castle, Antrim.

As pictured, Nicola McClure, NI Fundraiser for Parkinson’s UK, came along to receive the donation that was presented by (from left) Secretary Patricia Pedlow, Chairman Fred Duncan and Treasurer Brian Hunter.

Following on from the recent news of Randox becoming title sponsor of the Show, Antrim Agricultural Society has unveiled a new event logo, as part of wider rebranding project that the Committee members have been working on over winter.

Now that it the Show’s new logo has been combined with that of its new title sponsor Randox’s identity, it has been unveiled to the masses.

About the vibrant new look, Show Secretary Patricia Pedlow said; “We wanted a logo for our Show that portrayed a fun family day out while also giving a nod to our rural roots and focus.  The designer cleverly chose to create the ‘blue’ by blending sky blue with the grass green, and the ‘yellow’ represents a blend of sun yellow with that of brown soil.  The sun graphic not only conveys warmth and that everyone is welcome, but touches upon our event taking place at the peak of summer.  So, a lot of thought has gone into it, along with a lot of time at the drawing board but it was all worth it as we couldn’t be happier with our end product”.

The rebrand campaign will also include an update of the Antrim Agricultural Society’s website, which, all being well, will go live for the opening of competition entries from around the first half of June.
