The Launch took place at the Butterfield Estate, we were delighted to welcome Avril and William R Gubbins back to Co. Offaly. The Gubbins Family are no strangers to the showing ring at Tullamore Show, they are very loyal competitors having competed at the Show for many years. Their Herd consists of Commercial and Pedigree Stock under the name of the Cush Herd, and they are in Co. Limerick. The Gubbins Family have had many success stories at Tullamore Show from Supreme Champion in 1992 on their first visit to the event and again in 2002 and 2012. We are looking forward to seeing them compete in the Showing ring in 2023.
