The next Golden Shears is set to take place in 2023.

Next year’s Golden Shears, which was to be held in March, has been cancelled because of restrictions and the unknown future caused by covid-19.

Event administrator Deb Keats said the difficult decision was made at the event’s recent AGM.

“One of our many reasons was that we could not possibly present our prestigious event in the manner we aspire to with the current restrictions and the many checks that would have to be put in place,” Keats said.

“Our major consideration is the welfare of all our volunteers, competitors, spectators, sponsors and service providers.

“As this event is staged indoors, this increases the demands we need to follow in order to keep everyone safe from the pandemic.

“We consider our decision as being responsible to all people involved with Golden Shears.”

Keats said organisers are now preparing for the 2023 event.
