Harrogate Great Yorkshire show cancelled :o(

Oh bloomer that is a shame, loads of roads near us closed due to flooding and it doesn't seem like it's letting up either:(

Oh dear! I do feel sorry for you all over the hills.

thats a real shame

Hi Sandra.
What a pity Harrogate is cancelled. Safety a priority.

This summer, I've lost count of the charity dog shows and similar events which have been cancelled or postponed due to waterlogged venues.

Some smaller charities, which rescue dogs, cats etc, are really suffering due to the loss of income, because the shows are usually guaranteed revenue for them.

its a shame sandra and seems alot of shows have been cancelled this year cause of weather, all the hard work they do, its heartbreaking isnt it :o(

It is very sad for everybody trying to make a living,and charities too..all the preparation that goes into it,as well..
We used to go every year,as guests of OH's company..and it really is a wonderful event..I feel sorry for all the animals as much as anything..and most of you will have seen Hebden Bridge and surrounding area being hit yet again yesterday..just tragic...a few plants in my garden pale into insignificance compared to this..I am definitely not going to moan about them,after seeing this lot..no camparison..but to be honest,they aren't doing too bad..so feel very lucky..

yes i feel lucky to sandra, i cant even begin to say i understand cause unless you go through something you cant really know what its like, but my heart goes out to anyone with garden and house dissasters from downpours this year :o(

It's a nightmare hey - all the hard work that goes into planning these events - I heard it was on this morning and wondered if it would go ahead! :0(

Oh, what a disappointment Bloomer, but what can you do eh?

I bet that it is a wonderful show too.

This year is a right off in so many ways and I just keep hoping that for everyone's sake it will get better before too long. If it doesn't we shall all need to buy Vitamin D tablets or emigrate!!

What a shame for you Bloomer. I know how much I look forward to going to the big shows. It does put it all into perspective when you see the aftermath with peoples houses that have been flooded - poor devils.

Aww :(((

Such a shame for all concerned :o(

Oh bl***y h**l what a sorry state of affairs. I'm gutted, not because I was going this year, but because it's a Yorkshire institution that I'm very proud of. All that work that has been put in from the organisers, breeders, farmers and exhibitors. Such a shame, they must feel gutted. Jx

What a shame Sandra you must be so disappoined , I do feel for everyone who has been affected by the rain and flooding, I hope it will come to an end soon, although it will be too late for all those who have had events cancelled;0(

we were gutted Bloomer when we heard it on the news last night, its dreadful but what else could they do but cancel it, the tractors were making a mess pulling the cars out, a years hard work planning for this,,

Thats so sad for all those who have worked so hard.
