IT might not be the biggest agricultural show in the coun­ try, but Hodder Valley Show certainly ranks as one of the


best. Visitors and exhibitors could


not fail to be impressed by the pic­ turesque rural landscape before they arrived at the exceptionally scenic Dunsop Bridge show-


ground. Organisers were not blessed


with a repeat of last year's hot, sunny weather for the 60th show. Instead, the wind blew, the tem­

perature dropped, and a combina­ t ion of rain with occasional lengthy dry spells ensured that everyone was left in no doubt that this was a typical British Septem­


ber day. Months of planning had gone


into the diamond anniversary show and visitors turned out in their hundreds. All aspects of farm life were rep­ resented, with schools and the


community as a whole putting major input into the show, via exhibitions in the various mar­


quees. For farming families it offered a


day away from the rules and reg­ ulations now placing a strangle­ hold on the industry, and a chance


to chat and relax. Pride of place on the field went


to show president Allan Carr. A committee member for yeare, Mr Carr comes from a long line of Hodder Valley farmers and Satur­ day was certainly his day. With cattle, sheep, shire horses,


pets and a myriad of stalls, there was something for all the family, while Slaidburn Silver Band entertained throughout the after­


noon. In the arena, there was a con­


s tan t ly changing display with stuntman Ian Jay's "sponge plunge" from 50ft up a ladder among the day's highlights. Bowland High School pupils


demonstrated why the school has gained an excellent reputation for performing arts, while primary


school pupils throughout the Hod- der Valley competed against each other in a well supported chil­

dren's section. Heather Alpe amazed th e


judges as she took best in show in the senior section — her entries in the miniature garden, art and dec­ orated biscuit all.particularly out­ standing. I t was, however, her item made from rubbish a life­ like red tractor with opening cab door and attention paid to minute detail, that won her the top prize.


■ Young farmers put together a "Then and Now" exhibiton, fea­ turing farming families through­ out the Hodder Valley, alongside a picture montage of "Show Day". The fell race, organised by Bow-


land Fell Runners, provided a magnificent route for local ath­ letes, with much of the race visible to spectators down below. Winner was Phillip Winskill, of


Dark Peak Runners, in 38min. 09sec. Local runner Steve Sweeney, of Bowland Fell Run­ ners, came in first veteran over 40 and second overall with 39min.


{0\5sec. and Chris Mille , L aney 44min.lOsec. Horticultural entries were down


in some sections, due partly to the poor weather. There were plenty of exhibits in the baking section with particularly magnificent fruit cakes and intense rivalry in the men's baking sect ion with David Taylor's lemon sponge tak­ ing pride of place, followed by John Parry and Kevin Johnson, a Swiss roll and fruit cake respec­ tively. The egg section was domi- ' nated by S tev en and Michael Roberts, apart from hens' eggs which Tim Ankers managed to


win. Prize-winning sheep were treat­


ed to a new trophy after more than 30 years -with the same one. United U t il it ie s donated a new trophy for the overall champion sheep. Nick Robinson presented the trophy to Tom Robinson and his son, Thomas, of Catlow Farm, for their winning Swaledales.
