Covid-19: Several A&P shows fall victim to alert level uncertainty
New Zealand’s popular A&P shows, considered by many to be a Kiwi institution, are falling like a house of cards due to Covid-19 alert level uncertainty.
North Canterbury’s Rangiora A&P Show, the Hawke’s Bay A&P Show, and the Gisborne A&P show were all cancelled on Wednesday, following the cancellation of the Clevedon, Waikato, and Wairarapa shows – as well as the South Canterbury Spring Horse Show – in recent days.
For Canterbury’s Northern A&P Association, this will be the second consecutive year their Rangiora show, scheduled for Labour Weekend, has been unable to go ahead.
The South Island’s level 2 restrictions will remain in place while Auckland is at level 3, and the committee said the uncertainty made it too risky for them to incur any more costs.
The committee was working to find out whether some sections of the show may be able to go ahead under level 2 rules.
They said they would let people know, and contact people who had already entered, as soon as possible.
