Limerick's first show of the summer postponed due to weather
THE ORGANISERS of Newcastle West Show have had to postpone the event due to be held this Sunday following the incessant rain earlier this Friday.
A post on their Facebook page reads: "With regret we have no choice but to postpone the show this Sunday, July 16. Unfortunately, due to the amount of surface water we are unable to run the show to the standard that we had hoped for."
Liam Ruttle, chairman of Newcastle West Show, thanked people for all their kind comments, including messages of goodwill from Cappamore and Clarecastle Shows. They know only too well the amount of work that goes into putting on a show.
"We will have a new date very soon, the weather will not stop Newcastle West Show 2023 going ahead. A great day planned for young and old," said Mr Ruttle.
The organising committee had a stellar line-up of events for the show this weekend. Newcastle West Show dates back over a century so some heavy rain won't stop them getting the show on the road again very soon.
