The sith annual North Norfolk and District Agricultural Society Exhibition and Sports day at MacGregor saw attendance fall from last year though events remained engaging. Calves and cattle were down, horses held steady, with sunny Friday and Saturday giving way to a noon shower Sunday delaying ball games briefly.
