Yulecart show a no go this year

AT the last Yulecart Show in 2019, Elizabeth Munro, Hamilton, and Margeret Gray, Yulecart, showed how to handle spun wool, but a lack of volunteers have meant the show is not going ahead for 2023 and is unlikely to return. Photo: SPEC FILE.

ONE of the stalwart community shows that has typically graced the pages of The Spectator for a preview (or review) article at this time of year will be missing in 2023, unless you want to count this one informing of its cancellation.

Yulecart show committee member, Jade Roberts, said even in 2019 the show had been struggling to survive, but the COVID lockdown years and an ageing local population in the intervening time had finally made the decision unavoidable, much to her sadness.
