    As a rough guide go through Bradford, Keighley (A650) and into Skipton.
    Take the A59 out of Skipton towards Clitheroe.
    The show will be on the LH side about 4 miles out of Skipton.

    Broughton Hall Country Fair

    Was called the Broughton Hall game show, at least that's what us 'locals' called it. Do they still have the Ferret Racing event ????? My ferret "Midge", a fat albino male, came 2nd one year (early 80's, when I was a scruffy teenager with fat ferrets).

    We used to dodge the entrance fee by.. ah, I better hadn't go into that on a public forum

    The ferrets been given 'Honoury Life Membership' when it gets out of the vets and I'm buying it a pint!

    Great day (and Sat. night) was had be all and the weather behaved itself. It was a pleasure to meet RUSHAM.

    I thought the Ferret shown exceptional sense when it bit Martin.

    What are you buying Martin, when he gets out of the Vets?.

    A collection for the Ferret raised £32.75

    Sorry for being so late Martin, just woke up, not as young as I used to be 20 years of Broughton shows must be taking there toll.

    I must admit I did not witness the ferret incident, just the aftermath of Martin's comments of Bl*****y ferret, and the ferret rescue people offering the " Killer ferret "as a Guard Ferret for people with very small houses.

    In fact the ferrets Will's and I handled were cute and cuddly little kitts of 6 weeks old I believe

    Perhaps it was your aftershave Martin, eu de Rabbit was not such a good idea.
