And the great news is that the sun is shining on Great Eccleston Showfield and everything is set for the start of another great Agricultural Show in one hour's time (8:00 am). A gallant band of volunteers worked well into the night to ensure that everything was up and ready.
The Show is on a well-drained site with metalled roads and tracks and, in addition, several tons of woodchips have been laid to ensure easy access to every part of the show.
Fortunately the drizzle ceased yesterday evening and after a dry night the sun has actually broken through here, so the ground is in good shape to cope with the expected crowds.
