CLA at the Great Yorkshire Show
Members will know that the Great Yorkshire Show is being run over FOUR days from Tuesday 13 to Friday 16 July this year, providing it meets Covid restrictions.The CLA team will be out in full force at this year’s Great Yorkshire Show from 13-16 July, and presents an opportunity whereby members can interact face-to-face for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
The CLA stand will have no on-stand caterers at this year’s show, but members are welcome to enjoy a reduced offering of refreshments such as tea, coffee and wine. We are all hoping to provide our usual full service at next year’s show.

Members will also be able to meet new CLA Director North Lucinda Douglas. Retiring CLA Director North Dorothy Fairburn will also say her farewells on this day.
Also on the Tuesday, the CLA will be launching our Countryside Code campaign and CLA Senior Access Adviser, Sophie Dwerryhouse will be on hand to answer member’s questions on any issues about public rights of way such as footpaths and bridleways access issues.
