Grasmere Sports date settled

8:53am Friday 10th December 2004 in Sport By Gazette News Desk

GRASMERE Sports officials have settled on August Bank Holiday Sunday as the new date in the Lakeland show calendar.

Show director Chris Lane said the date had been reset after the previous system - which saw the sports held on the fourth Sunday in August caused confusion among some show goers.

"This year the sports fell on a non-bank holiday and a lot of people got the date wrong," he said. "This way things should be much easier." Next year's Grasmere Sports will be held on August 28.
