Textravaganza: Plans announced for national Texel sheep show
The show will take place on July 30.
Texel breeders from across the UK will gather in Carlisle in July for the breed’s first national show.
The British Texel Sheep Society has announced plans for its inaugural national show – the Textravaganza – at Harrison and Hetherington’s Borderway Mart in Carlisle on July 30.
Society chairman, Roy Campbell, said the show will offer breeders the chance to showcase the best Texels from across the UK and people will get the chance to buy new stock at a special sale of gimmers.
“With many shows cancelled again this year or operating in a very limited manner, the society is delighted to give members this opportunity to showcase their best animals ahead of the autumn sales season,” said Mr Campbell.

Several years ago, I punched a friend, Marc… I punched him, and said (something like), “don’t ever do that. Not when I’m around, and even when I am not.”
“No, no. Wait,” he said. “I am gay.” Marc had referred to someone as a “flaming faggot”. Sure, I was being a bit of a twat, but I was sincere. We were in London. It was the early 1990s, and I had over the years become (very) finely tuned to detect bigotry.
Fast forward a few months later. I am at Highbury (what was once the most sacred place in football don’t @me), we shouted abuse at Tottenham Hotspur fans. After the match, we went down the Nag’s Head for a pint. I overheard someone at a table refer to Spurs as those “@#$%&$% Yids”. I got back on my high horse, but a mate held me back: “No, that’s their nickname. Spurs call themselves ‘Yids’”. After that, I stopped hurling abuse (mainly football banter) at Spurs, because it just felt wrong to harangue a group of “Yids”.
