Whether it’s a dog show, country show, people are passionate about what they are doing.“Particularly with cars I think the enthusiasm is really palpable so it’s nice to be around people who are passionate about their hobby.”Mr Norton, who works in Boroughbridge, will be at the show, subject to being called away to an emergency, between midday and 2pm to sign/sell his new book titled ‘On Call With A Yorkshire Vet’.
