Collingham ploughing match cancelled due to threat of snow

The 12th annual Collingham and District Agricultural Society's Spring Ploughing Match has had to be cancelled for the second year running.

Organisers took the decision to cancel Sunday's show due to the heavy snowfall which is forecast.

Last year's spring show had to be cancelled because of heavy snow too.

Ploughmen from as far afield as Wales, Devon and East Anglia had been expected to compete on a 55-acre site at Plot Lane east of South Scarle by kind permission of G.H Chennells (Farms) Ltd.

Among the entries were a number of past and present national champions.
