ABOUT THE SOCIETY

 

The Wayland Agricultural Show is organised by the Wayland Agricultural Society CIC. The Society is run by a voluntary committee who work with lots of supporters throughout the year to organise the Show and other fundraising events.

The CIC stands for Community Interest Company. CICs are limited companies created for the use of people who want to conduct a business or other activity for community benefit, and not for private advantage. This company status also provides legal protection to the voluntary committee.

The Wayland Agricultural Society aims to donate profit from the annual agricultural show and annual Spring Ball dinner dance to local and county charities and organisations.
