A nal donation was made to the 3rd New Forest East Scouts It is with heavy hearts that we have made the di cult decision to cancel the 2021 Netley Marsh Steam and Cra Show. e Working Committee take our duty of care for the public, exhibitors, volunteers, and committee members seriously, and due to the current Coronavirus pandemic, we feel we have no alternative but to cancel the Show. We must of course follow the government guidance, and do not wish to put further strain on the NHS and other frontline services. We look forward to welcoming you all to our next show, to be held on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th July 2022 . Cancelling this year’s show will give the committee time to prepare a bigger, better show for you. We thank you all for the support you have all given us over the years. Your continued generosity has allowed us to donate to local charities, thanks again to all our friends far and wide and of course the local communities who have made this show what it is today. Finally, we would like to thank the landowners for their understanding, along with all our suppliers and the entertainers.
