We`ll be going, our eldest is a cheerleader with BFC`s very own BEE`S KNEE`S and they are putting on a performance or 3........hopefully the weather will be kind, its one of the last on the calender of shows , most of which seem to have been cancelled this year because of rain.......
Hopefully the Weather will be kind
I'm keeping my fingers, arms, toes and legs crossed
Don't forget the long awaited return of "It's a Knockout" will also be taking place at the Show
Hopefully kicking that off will be a Battle of the Mascots using some of the games from the "It's a Knockout Event" between Stanley's Fraser the Eagle & Burnley's Bertie the Bee
unfortunately a descision was made this Evening that this Years Show is cancelled
I take it that its waterlogged almost already & the weather is set to be miserable for at least till early next week before it picks up again, suppose its a H&S issue or the threat of it being a wash out.
why have they cancelled it? the weathers not gunna have that much effect on barrowford park .... a place i know very well () are people that bothered about getting a bit muddy?
Ty used to love going to trawden and barrowford show
It's not so much whether people are bothered about getting muddy but if the ground is very bad already, churning it all up could cause irrepairable damage, especially on Bull Holme which needs to be used all winter for football.
It was a really tough call and was one not taken lightly
We had a walk around both sites before last nights meeting and the Park was already in stagnant water and mud from yesterdays downpour it was decided at that point that the Park could not be used. Bull Holme as Dave says is a different kettle of fish as it is used for Football & also Cricket, part of the agreement with the Show is we have to make good when the Show is finished and it was felt that if we went ahead and had a bad day with attendances and then had to make good it could jepordise future shows. So with heavy heart the descision was made that if we cancelled last night we could save certain amounts of money and hopefully bring it back Bigger & Better Next Year.
