Royal Bath and West of England Society

The Royal Bath and West of England Society is a charitable society founded in 1777 to promote and improve agriculture and related activities around the West Country of England. Based at the Royal Bath and West of England Society Showground near Shepton Mallet in Somerset, the society is a registered charity in England and Wales (no. 1039397).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Extract from the Central Register of Charities maintained by the Charity Commission for England and Wales )
Nowadays the society offers a variety of services relating to agriculture and veterinary science including public and professional events, seminars and advice, scholarships, and a marketplace for countryside products.
==Foundation==

In 1775 Edmund Rack, a draper and the son of a labouring weaver, moved from his native Norfolk to the city of Bath. Despite his modest upbringing Rack had developed interests both in literature and agriculture, and especially the application of modern methods to farming. He was struck on his arrival by the poor standard of agricultural practise in the West Country, and in a series of letters to the ''Farming Magazine'' and the ''Bath Chronicle'' argued that it was in the interest of all involved to make a concerted effort to improve productivity.
Thus on the 28 August 1777 the ''Bath Chronicle'' printed a notice addressed to "The Nobility and Gentry in the counties of Somerset, Gloucester, Wiltshire and Dorset in general, and the Cities of Bath and Bristol in particular". This notice, paid for by Rack, proposed the formation of a "Society in this City, for the encouragement of Agriculture, Planting, Manufactures, Commerce, and the Fine Arts...".
A number of philanthropists responded, and at a meeting on 8 September inaugurated the ''Bath and West of England Society for the Encouragement of Agriculture, Arts, Manufactures and Commerce'',〔The Bath and West of England Society for the Encouragement of Agriculture, Arts, Manufactures and Commerce is also referred to as Bath and West of England Agricultural Society .〕 nominating Rack as the society's secretary. The same year, the ''Aims, Rules and Orders of the Society'' were published, which set out the activities of the society for the years to come. These involved the improvement of areas such as animal husbandry, farm implements and country crafts through education, experimentation and prize-giving.
In 1780 a site at Weston, Bath was taken over for use by the society as an experimental farm. Although this particular venture ended around a decade later, for the next 196 years the society's headquarters were located in properties within the city of Bath, until in 1974 its administration moved to a new permanent home in Shepton Mallet.
