Mr Marshall was a machinery lecturer from Riseholme College and an established agricultural journalist. Mr Barber was head of machinery at Caythorpe College, Mr Larrington was a muck spreader and trailer manufacturer from Boston, and Geoff Bottom was the sales director of Witham Oil and Grease in Lincoln.

The show began at Lincolnshire Show Ground, with 50 exhibitors and around 2,500 visitors. The first show made a small profit, which encouraged the organisers to establish the LAMMA Show as an annual feature. As it grew, in 1997 Lamma moved to Newark showground for 18 years and then on to East of England Showground at Peterborough until 2019.
