Tockwith and District show has been cancelled for the second year running, this time after torrential rain.

The popular event, which was scrapped last year because of the foot and mouth crisis, was set to take place tomorrow.

Organisers said the field had become saturated and were worried that cars would get stuck.

"It's a major disappointment," said show secretary Fiona Harris. "There's nothing we can do about it. We apologise to anyone who has been inconvenienced."
