The show due to be held on 26th August, 2013
has been cancelled,
due to the state of the field, because of the rain over the last 2
years.
Work is being carried out on the field including drainage,
but sadly it will not be finished in time to run this year's show.
The show in 2014 should,
hopefully, be on schedule.
Updates will be posted as available.
