ON June 29 I attended Malton Show at Scampston Park. We were blessed with a lovely day which made it all the more enjoyable and brought many people out to attend.

I have been a member for some time now and when I arrived from the members car park I found it was all change.

I got completely lost at first, I was asked to go to the secretary’s tent when I arrived, but couldn’t find it. I used the layout from Malton Gazette and eventually got my bearings.

Once I’d got used to the new layout I thought it was much better and I hope this will stay in place for next year’s show.

To me it felt much more spacious and comfortable to get round and see everything.

I still managed to miss some of the usual trade stands, but I hope to get round everyone next year.

Congratulations to everyone who worked so hard to give up such an enjoyable day.

Joan Lawrence, Mayor of Malton.
