After being very disappointed that the Tockwith Show had to be cancelled last year because of flooded fields I eagerly awaited this year's show.

I spent a very enjoyable day at the showground looking at shirehorses, Shetland ponies, falconry displays, fancy dress both on and off ponies, the York and Ainsty Hounds, old cars and tractors, children's craft, pigs, sheep and much more.

The show was undoubtedly a major success. It was very well attended and it was clear that I was not the only one gladdened by its return.

I thank the show committee for all their hard work and congratulate them on such a successful day.
