Winds causing trouble at Southern

Organisers not giving in

Heavy weather is causing some setbacks at the Southern Agricultural Show - but organisers are pushing ahead.

Attendees have described seeing high winds bringing down a public address tower, uprooting stalls and sending debris flying.

But show bosses say skies are blue and the winds are easing, and say the poor weather shouldn't put the public off coming.

Festivities are continuing, though, with plenty of entertainment on offer for everyone.

The showground at Great Meadow, Castletown is open until 6pm today.

Manx Radio will continue to broadcast live from the show whatever the weather.
