Horsham Show Abandoned Because Overseas Position and Petrol Shortage
The Horsham Agricultural Society agreed to cancel this year’s show after weeks of discussion. A low turnout for the wool class and a farm labor shortage, worsened by petrol rationing, pressured the decision. Most members supported postponement pending better conditions, with few dissenters and a plan to balance the society’s budget.
