Since the GHAS was formed in 1857, it has been bringing the pleasure and excitement of the countryside to our town with an annual show. This was traditionally held on Whit Tuesday, but is now held on Spring Bank Holiday, the last Monday in May

Spring Bank Holiday Monday 31st May 2010

The show was a great success!

This is due to the hard work of the committee over the last year, the helpers on the day, and the thousands of visitors, sponsors, subscribers, exhibitors and trade stand holders who have supported us, some for many years.

* THANK YOU ALL *

Free all-day transport from the New Showground was arranged to shuttle visitors to and from Towngate via the Old Showground (which was also be used for car parking)

SUPPORTED BY KAYS TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

 

The Society has recently been fortunate enough to be awarded a grant from the Big Lottery Fund, for the construction of a main sewer connection to the showfield, which will enable us to provide toilet facilities on the showground.  Work on this is shortly to commence, bringing us a step nearer to our aim of providing a quality showfield in the area, enabling other community groups and societies to use it for a wide variety of events.

 

County Councillor Ciaran Wells awarded us grant funding through the Lancashire County Council Local Member Grants Scheme, enabling us to buy two marquees and tables.

 

 

In 2010, for the first time, we held a sheepdog trial on the lines of 'One Man and his Dog'.

Who won? Look on the 'Results' page.

Every year we try to book new events and to invite the return of the most popular regular displays.

We are always interested in new displays and demonstrations for the main arena
and invite any groups who would like to attend to contact the display managers:

Miss Hannah Hamer:  Tel: 07702199009            or Miss Hannah Williams:   Tel: 07773771439

 

The society continues to promote the traditional sights, produce and crafts of Lancashire, particularly from Great Harwood and the surrounding areas.

We are now looking forward to including more of the local community - groups, schools and individuals - in this aim and invite you to use the links to browse our pages and discover what we have to offer.

By having an advertising banner at our shows, sponsoring an event, or becoming a subscriber, you can help to ensure the continuation of a tradition which is slowly but surely dying out in most urban and many rural areas.

 

We would like to share our success with other societies, groups or individuals in Hyndburn and other local areas, so are offering the use of the New Showground for a limited number of events each year.

 

Interested parties are asked to contact the Secretary, Miss Rona Westwell: 01254 678411
