Our breakfast will look a little different this year, we’ll be set up in the Members’ Pavilion with more space to host our political breakfast. Set up in tables of six, with a sit down breakfast which will include fruit, yoghurt, granola pot with spoon and a bacon roll, served in individual bags with local apple juice, tea and coffee.

We have extended an invitation to Government for a speaker and are awaiting confirmation, with few agricultural shows going ahead this year, our hope is to get a leading figure.

This new format means that arrival will be at 8.30am, with the breakfast debate beginning at 9.00am and finishing at our usual time of 10am.

Booking will be absolutely essential for attendance at breakfast to ensure we adhere to Covid measures. We will not be admitting people who have not booked onto the breakfast, if you turn up without having booked, please do not be offended if you are turned away – therefore, early booking is recommended, as understandably, places are limited.

Booking for the breakfast does not include entry to the Show and we would recommend that you inform yourselves of the 12 Steps the Society is taking to ensure visitors safety during the event.

 Keeping you safe at our events 

We are pleased to be running in-person events once again and are excited to host our breakfast at the Devon County Show. However, we want to ensure that you can attend with confidence. We are putting in place the following measures to ensure the safety of both attendees and staff at our events:

• All CLA employees at the event will have taken a Rapid Antigen Covid Test at least 24 hours prior to the event. We would suggest you also do the same. You can order these tests for free online by visiting https://www.gov.uk/order-coronavirus-rapid-lateral-flow-tests.
• If you display any symptoms of Covid, please do not attend.
• Full hand sanitation points will be available at our stand and upon entrance to the breakfast marquee.
• Please scan the dedicated QR code upon arrival at the event so we can register you to the NHS Test and Trace scheme.
• Face masks are required indoors until you are seated. We will have extra available should you forget yours.
• Attendees will be required to adhere to Government guidance on social distancing, keeping 2m (or 1m+ where 2m is not possible), from those outside your household or bubble.

For the CLA Breakfast at the Devon County Show, upon arrival you will be signed in and asked to head into the marquee, collect your badge and find a seat. Tables will be in groups of 6.
At the end of breakfast, tables will be asked to leave in groups to avoid a bottleneck at the exits. We ask that you gather your belongings as quickly as possible and leave the marquee when asked to do so. Please familiarise yourself with the Devon County Show Good to Go steps ahead of attending.

We hope this will help you feel more secure when attending our events. If you have any questions, please let us know.
