A warning has been issued that a village show may fold unless new volunteers come forward.

The 38th North Sunderland and Seahouses Show took place on Saturday – the first since the pandemic.

"Sadly, this could possibly be the last show unless we get more volunteers to take part and join the committee,” stated secretary Liz Moor.

"We aren't the biggest show but we are a good show and it would be terrible for it to fold.”

Liz and chairman Jim Williamson are stepping down from their roles, although they will stay on the committee if fresh blood is found.

The event itself was a success with a mix of new exhibitors and familiar faces and the judging commenting on the high standard of entries.

“The atmosphere was lovely and friendly with people commenting on this, especially the new exhibitors, which is fabulous to hear and makes all the hard work that goes into putting on a show worthwhile,” said Liz.

She was also delighted with the children’s entries and thanked Seahouses Primary School and Busy Bees for encouraging its children to take part.
