PENISTONE 2008 NEEDS YOU!!! - 25.11.07
Penistone Show 2008 is going to be bigger and better than ever. But at the
moment two of the sections are without secretaries - Lurchers and Terriers,
and Home and Handicraft. We are looking for volunteers - more than one for
each section if possible, to spread the load.
Section secretaries are responsible for all the entries to the classes in
that section. The Lurchers and Terriers enter on the day, but for Home and
Handicraft there's a fair amount of paperwork in the weeks before the show,
sending out schedules and taking entries. There is then a busy show day
making sure the displays are at their best and the judging runs smoothly.
It can be hard work but it's also a great deal of fun.
As a member of the committee, a section secretary is invited to committee
meetings on the third Tuesday of each month (except December) at the St.
John's Community Centre in Penistone, at 8pm. The meetings are always
interesting and lively, with help and advice whenever it's required.
Health and Safety Officer
Our last Health and Safety Officer did a great job, sorting out all the
rules and regulations, so we hope his replacement will have quite an
easy transition. We are looking for a volunteer who can take charge of
all health and safety matters in relation to the show. They will have
to undertake risk assessments, keep the committee updated with any new
legislation or procedures and keep in close touch with all the relevant
agencies.
If you think you might like to get involved, why not send us an email to
andrew-lowe@thurlstone.wanadoo.co.uk or call Peter Read on 0114
2887816. We'd love to tell you a bit more about what's required and if you
do decide to join in the fun, we're sure you won't regret it.
Kangaroo Gymnastic Display Team - 9.9.07
It has been reported in the press that one of the gymnastic display team members had broke his leg. We are happy to announce that after a visit to the hospital he had only badly sprained his ankle. We all hope for a speedy recovery for him.
Press Release – 31.8.07
Following the unexpected early removal of foot and mouth restrictions, the 2007 Penistone Show on Saturday, 8th September will now feature classes for cattle and sheep. Sadly the news came too late for pig and goat classes, which will not be held this year.
Since we had already filled the gap left by livestock with a host of
other attractions, the show this year will be non-stop entertainment.
Visitors can be certain of a fabulous day out.
