THE future of Guernsey’s embattled North Show looked more certain yesterday as organisers welcomed back the crowds.

THERE will be no North Show next year unless more sponsors are found.

AS THE heavens opened over the North Show yesterday afternoon it would be a hard-hearted islander who did not feel sympathy for everyone involved in this most traditional of events.

THE future of the North Show could end up under threat after heavy rain devastated this year’s event.

AS THE curtain came down on another successful Battle of Flowers, local food sellers threatened to boycott next year’s North Show after rival French traders were given cheaper pitches.

THIS year’s blooms for the Battle of Flowers will be coming from Europe rather than the Channel Islands.

BIG businesses have pledged to back staff who want to help with community events such as the North Show and the Battle of Flowers.

ORGANISERS of this year's North Show are hopeful of breaking even despite the theft of £1,300.

GUERNSEY'S 2005 Battle of Flowers could be the most spectacular ever staged.

NORTH Show organisers say the event represents good value for money.
