Weather? Maybe they don't think the ground is going to dry out in time?

Hadn't heard about this, seems a bit odd

foo - have replied to you on my 'fitness plan' post

surely though it cant be due to weather? its 2 months off?
i thought the new show ground was much better for weather & parking?

 

[foo]

Bet its more likely to do with costs, what a shame.

 

[_daisy_]

it is a huge shame as I really like Leicester show. I hope this isnt the end of the show and that its back on next year

This is what it says on there website, such a shame for a lovely show (apart from the weather they have sometimes on the show days):


URGENT NOTICE

It is with great sadness that the board of directors have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2010 County Show. This decision was not taken lightly and after considerable deliberation the board were presented with no alternative. Please note that any parties that have paid trade stand monies or entry fees will be contacted in due course.

Although it's not on the website, I understand down the grapevine that it is cancelled for the next three years
