Cheshire Show 2006

Cheshire CPRE's stand at this year's Cheshire Show celebrated 80 years of achievement in protecting our countryside, and set out our aims for the future.

Our display featured an aerial photo of our lovely county, and its wonderful patchwork in every shade of green was much admired by visitors, yet that picture would now be very different if CPRE had not spent the past 8 decades working hard to protect the Cheshire countryside.

One of the many issues visitors to our stand were concerned about was the proposed alteration to the M6 – which could have a huge impact on the Tabley area, home of the Cheshire Show.

The Cheshire CPRE scarecrow came along too, and young Tom Armstrong, of Knutsford, guessed his name correctly and won a book kindly donated by Ottaker’s of Wilmslow.
