IT was with trepidation that I faced the morning of Ramsbottom Jubilee Country Show day. My worries proved unfounded as by late morning the crowds flocked in and my fears turned to joy. Even the afternoon rain didn't dampen spirits.
Many sincere thanks to all those who supported us in such great numbers. Without the unwavering support of friends and colleagues, I could not have organised such a large event. Thanks are also due to everyone who contributed to the organisation of the celebrations and those who helped on the day.
The loss of the lottery funding in April caused major problems and without the financial backing of businesses and organisations it would have been impossible to continue.
The Jubilee Country Show proved that it is possible for the various sections of the community to work together successfully thus creating a marvellous friendly atmosphere -- a real community spirit pervaded the show. Long may it continue.
