I'm not sure if this post relies to last year's or this year's show - and I cannot reply to Diary Man's original post - but one of the exhibitors who was planning to attend the Preston Show this weekend (3rd and 4th March 2018) tells me it has been cancelled due to the weather.
Can anyone else - maybe Stan? - confirm this or otherwise for the benefit of prospective visitors?

(Might it be helpful for show organisers to be able to amend the original show notice here on the forum?)

A rare ( thankfully ) use of moderator's powers ---- I've updated to the correct dates
And yes, confirmed from a number of reliable internet sources, this coming weekend show at Preston is cancelled.

Thanks for clarifying the situation, Garry.
As I mentioned, it doesn't seem possible for 'ordinary' members (including show managers!) to post updates such as cancellations on the diary threads. Presumably the way to do that is to PM Dairy Man (?John Jacobs) and ask him to amend the original entry?
It's interesting that notice of the cancellation was posted on the NGRM Online forum, I think, but not here - which does perhaps underline the point Jim Flynn made here a day or two ago about (non) use of this forum.

David,
I put the cancellation on the NGRM regarding the Preston Show and intended to put it on the 009 Forum, but I had to go out to help someone in my locality and simply forgot about it after I arrived home.
Stan.
