Vikki Wood - 2021 Presidents Address

Hi all, Welcome to your virtual Goosnargh and Longridge Show 2021. Unfortunately, we can’t welcome you to the showground in person so we have taken the show online. I think we are all getting used to communicating online in these strange and uncertain times. I would like to thank the committee and volunteers for their dedication and hard work in bringing the show to you this and every year. Please join us on Saturday 10th July 2021 for what we hope will be an enjoyable experience for all. Before I sign off please make a note of this years show date 10th July 2021 when we really do hope you will particicpate or view the virtual show . Looking forward to your support enjoy the show.

Best regards, Vikki Wood President.

A note from our Chair, Claire Eccles...

We were really looking forward to welcoming back all our visitors in 2021 but unfortunately it wasn’t to be.

Once again we have promoted our show online with a number of classes across 6 sections for you to enter.  As it was last year, entry is by photograph so everyone can get involved.

The committee hasn’t taken the year off, we have continued to meet monthly but on zoom.  We have planned and carried out essential maintenance and improvements to our facilities and have been looking very careful at current farming initiatives.  With a huge emphasis on the environment we have been looking at ‘Nature Friendly Farming’ and how we can do our bit with our 12 acres. I am proud to say that the committee, with a little help from friends in the community, have planted 400 saplings to create a new hedgerow and this is just the first step in our plans to become more ‘Nature Friendly’.
