To weekend of 9th / 10th September

Longshaw Sheepdog Trials

David Hakes writes: “Longshaw is coming up on Saturday 2^nd September and I’m getting a little worried about the number of confirmed supporters we have for the day. PLEASE get in touch with me to volunteer. Rumour has it this year the Sheepdog Trials will be treated to two spitfires flying over about an hour after the race has finished.”
