ILMINSTER Flower Show has had to be cancelled due to a lack of enough willing volunteers.
At the annual meeting of the Ilminster Flower, Fruit, Vegetable and Craft Show the committee reluctantly decided there was no option but to cancel this year.
With the current chairman stepping down and at least five other helpers saying they would no longer be able to help stage the show, appeals were made for new volunteers but no one came forward.
The constitution states that any money held should go to local charities on winding up the organisation, but the remaining committee members feel it is worth delaying for a year in the hope that without a show fresh interest will be kindled.
The committee will meet again in August – anyone wishing to help can email ilmflowershow@talktalk.net
