Secretary Retires

The Reeth Show Secretary Mrs Betty Harker has retired after 22 years. Betty's official last day as Secretary to Reeth Show was marked at the AGM Meeting in February where the Society's President, Mrs Kathleen Brown made a presentation on behalf of the Committee.  Mrs Harker was made Life Member to honour her long service to the show.  Betty has helped organise the show through good times and bad, from the hurricane of 1986 which flattened the show ground the day before Show Day, through the foot and mouth crisis and onward to the success it is today. Reeth Show is a traditional Dales show which still thrives thanks to the tireless efforts of its local community and is a credit to them.
