It's been decided not to have a Show in 2022 — the Hall Committee felt that, although Covid was waning, it was still present, and a health threat. It would be irresponsible to promote an event where people were mingling close together. It was also felt that more volunteer helpers were needed, and perhaps another year's break would help us to garner more support.
But there will be an event to mark the day... on Saturday August 20th 2022 there will be a Coffee Morning in the Hall, with craft stalls and other attractions, including a chance to view (and order copies of) the village photo taken at the Jubilee Fun Day in early June.
In the meantime, here is a report on last year's Online Show, as it was written at the time:
Moorsholm Show 2021
August 21st
Although there has been a lot of easing in the COVID restrictions, at the point at which the 'Go/No Go' decision had to be made about the Show, things were still uncertain. To commit then to the marquee, schedule and judges for the traditional Show was too dodgy, and so The Show Will Go On(line) became the motto, with limited classes that allowed entries to be submitted by email, and judged remotely.
Unfortunately the Show wasn't as well suppported at 2020... there were 68 entries , with most of them in the very popular Photography Section. But there were only 3 in Art, and 1 in Creative Writing. In the Children's Section, there were only 13 entries from 3 children — although that was actually 3 more than last year! Maybe all those months of online schoolwork have left them less than enthusiastic for more screen time.
The weather was appalling, with heavy rain — thank goodness we weren't trying to move entries into a marquee on the field! But the Show Day Coffee Morning made a good shelter from the storm, and raised some welcome funds. The Raffle contributed £188, and the Coffee & Cakes £343.60, making a grand total of £531.60. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this, either by baking, sending raffle prizes, working in the kitchen... or just plain turning up!
