Canterbury Show
Sir, —I would like to know why the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association allows the best parking, close to the main ring to be taken up mostly with caravans and horse floats. The assistant secretary dealt very firmly with this problem a few years ago at a country show with which he was then associated. In the very near future this area will be taken up entirely with caravans and floats, and where then will the long-suffering, earlyrising members be parked? Maybe in a caravan park in Blenheim Road. The show is a credit to those responsible, and compares more than favourably with the Royal Show in England, but I feel that sooner or later many members are going to ask themselves is the subscription worth while. p We get up
early, travel long distances, and for what?—Yours, etc., FED UP. November 16, 1970. [Mr H. M. Studholme, sec-retary-manager of the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Association, replies: “Parking for members is a problem constantly under review by the committee, which would be most grateful to ‘Fed Up’ for any positive suggestions for improvement he might make.”]
