The Royal Agricultural Show will not be taking place next weekend as a result of the foot and mouth outbreak in the United Kingdom.
As a precautionary measure, the Department of Agriculture has placed a ban on the movement of animals within the Island and the public is being asked to stay off the countryside.
President of the society, Frank Cain, says he doesn't know whether it will be rearranged.
He says everyone is totally deflated:
Fuel supplies to the Island remain 'reliable'
Government urges public not to stockpile
Horse tram business case misses Tynwald deadline
Not listed on Register of Business for May
Government joins Sunflower Hidden Disabilities scheme
Sunflower lanyards are now available at various locations
Peace Plaque installed in Hutchinson Square
Features Article One of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights
