One
of Britain’s premier one day shows retaining the qualities of a
traditional rural show, whilst also providing the best of
entertainment to make the day a great one for all our visitors. A
wonderful range of attractions and entertainments for the day, we
also have our magnificent showground which justifiably ranks as one
of the most beautiful in the UK.

The Nocturne Cycle races
are unique in the cycling calendar. They are the only cycle
races in the UK which are run after dark under floodlight.
Their future, however, is in jeopardy due to the actions of Telford
& Wrekin Council. Changes made to Newport High Street have
made these races questionable. It is a pity that they did not
adequately consult the town before the changes were initiated.

The Trust has been
formed in the belief that it is not too late to save the Shrewsbury
& Newport Canals. Very little of the line of the canals has been
built on and no insuperable engineering problems lie in the way of
restoration. More >> |
