| Great Weather; Great Show at Woodhall |
| |
The organisers of the Woodhall Spa Country Show say
they are delighted with the success of Sunday’s event (20 May).
Following last year’s rain affected event, they were hoping
that the weather would be kinder in 2007, and they got what they
wanted.
“It couldn’t have been better,” commented Chairman John Michael, “It
was dry all day, the wind that had been a problem while we were setting up
dropped to a gentle breeze, just enough to keep everyone cool in the sunshine.”
Initial estimates revealed that some 3,500 paying visitors passed
through gates, which should give enough income to allow the planning
for next year to go ahead.
Attractions at the show, such as the education area, ‘Make
yourself a pot’ and the crafts tent all reported substantial
interest from the visitors, with exhibitors in the Heritage area
reporting possible new recruits for their groups.
Trade stand owners reported a brisk trade, with some food concessions
almost sold out by the end of the day.
“We had a steady stream of customers all day,” noted one. “I
think a lot of people came for a visit, then decided to stay through to the
end – we were selling right through to five o’clock.”
An excellent entry of livestock saw Mr N Blakey’s mare Walker
House Elizabeth take the Shire horse championship; the Interbreed
cattle championship went to Winnington Trumps, a Limousin bull exhibited
by Pitcher farms of Friskney and the sheep title was awarded to a
Charollais, entered by A.J Coulson, from near Market Rasen.
