A POOR weather forecast combined with already sodden ground has forced organisers of Tuesday’s Lunesdale Show to cancel the event.

Show committee member Irene Wharton said: “The show ground is so wet, we cannot get any vehicles on to the site to set up, and the weather forecast for the next few days is for more rain.

“We are busy ringing, e-mailing and we are posting on our website and Facebook about the cancellation,” she said.

The agricultural show, held annually at Underley Park, Kirkby Lonsdale, was previously cancelled in 2007 because of the weather.
