Lambeth Country Show - 2008

Apparently Jafar the falcon who collided with the fence at the country show is fine according to his owners. Although they did blame the organisers for the design of the arena that led to the accident in the first place.

According to the SLP, he's been a bit unlucky previously as at the Clapham Common May Bank Country Fair he was mobbed by a flock of crows and ended up being caught by a gust of wind and hurled through a window in Putney!

“It’s possibly the pinnacle of my life winning the Vegetable Figure prize.

"Although I am disappointed by the prize itself, no rosette, no trophy. The three-quid prize money didn’t even cover the cost of the aubergine.”

After the country show I wrote a brief email to Lambeth suggesting they had a look at the comments posted on here.

Here, for anyone interested, is part of their response:

We are sorry that **** was disappointed with the Lambeth Country Show this year. We feel that it is important to try new things and then review them, which was our intention at the Country Show this year. If some ideas don’t work we will not do them again or will offer alternatives, but to stay the same year on year will eventually have a negative effect on the event and its intended benefits to local people would be lost.

As per your email, we have reviewed the comments on the Urban75 website and have taken on board the various concerns raised and will use these to improve the show for the future. We were also pleased to see some positive comments as well.

We are committed to improving the show each year, and resources such as Urban75 are a useful place for us to get feedback from the attendees . We will continue to monitor it to help us achieve an even better show for the future. Lambeth Events recognises the show means so many different things to different people and we genuinely seek to ensure that the improvements are made for the future.
