Bradley Fell Race - change of start times

Bradley Show has expanded this year, bringing more stalls, events and exhibitors. As a consequence the whole show starts a few hours earlier than previously, allowing the fell races; which are an integral part of the show, to be staged earlier in the day. This allows competitiors and their families to enjoy a greater part of the show once their races are over. We hope that this will prove to be a popular decision on behalf of the show committee and we would welcome your comments about any aspects of the show or the fell races. Full details and updates can be found on the new fell race website www.bradleyfellrace.org.uk
