Update on the Goosnargh and Longridge Agricultural Show 2021

To protect the safety of our volunteers and community the committee has taken the decision to take the show online again for 2021.

Although we had hoped to hold the show this year the the lifting of restrictions being only a fortnight before our show caused us some concerns Also the guidance coming out from the events industry and the continuing need to practise some level of social distancing together with their financial implications means we would not have been able to put on the show we would want to.

We are preparing some fabulous classes in a number of sections for you to enter and view online and it would be fantastic if you could join in and support us. Watch out for details of these on the website and on Facebook in the next few weeks.

A note from our Chair, Claire Eccles...

When it came apparent that last year’s show would have to be cancelled due to COVID-19 we all felt disappointed. The planning for this year’s show began right after last year’s was over and the 2020 show was coming together nicely. We have had to alter the format of shows before in the past due to foot and mouth and extreme wet weather, but we have always managed to stage a show of some kind. So to do nothing felt wrong, the show had to go on! And go on it has, as we took the brave steps to go online. I am incredibly fortunate that I have a supportive and talented committee, who when faced with, “Do you think we could have an online show?” enthusiastically stepped up to that challenge. I am incredibly grateful to Leo and Pippa, who have put hours of work into making this happen and the results are amazing. I am also very grateful to all those who have taken the time to enter, without you there would not be a show to view.
The committee is already thinking about the 2021 show. Watch This Space.
