Organisers never considered calling weather-hit event off
Organisers of the Southern Agricultural Show say the event was hit hard by the high winds and the heavy rain that swept across the Great Meadow showground over weekend.
On Saturday, tents were blown down and trade stands battered as stormy conditions hit, while further downpours on Sunday brought other problems.
Show Secretary Sarah Comish says they have had one day's poor weather before, but having to cope with two days was unique:
Three-week road closure for gas main works
Stretch of Ballakermeen Drive shut until 28 September
Public expectations for high street services 'a contradiction'
Political commentator says locals expect services to be efficient but for nothing to change
Info Commissioner partially upholds terminal complaint
Other exemptions applied were handled correctly
MGP organisers ACU respond to accusations of 'hollow promises' following rider's death
