Put the gardening show dates in your diary and if the weather holds out the family could have a cracking day walking around the exhibits
Harrogate 14-16 September 2007 at the Great Yorkshire Show Ground. Under 16's get in free if they are accompanied by an adult and and disabled people are allowed one helper to accompany them for free.
A little note on under sixteen's - personally, if kids have an interest in horticulture then let's not patronise them and scrap the 'if accompanied by adult bit'.
Let them in for free - naturally a six year old might want Mum or Dad, Nan or Grandad with them anyway but a fourteen or fifteen year old is mature enough to look after themselves.
If, as inferred they consider juveniles a liability then they shall be covered by the law of the land. You are more likely to see trouble from an infatuated old man who has not come first with his prized leek than a young lass or lad with a volumous mind and deep interest in horticulture.
Or am I reading into the under sixteen bit too sensitively?
