LACK of public support for Barnard Castle Meet, could force organisers to reduce it to a one-day event.
The annual May Bank Holiday weekend carnival was in danger of being scrapped when the last open forum to discuss its future attracted only 18 people, included members of the meet committee.
Steve Wilson, who has just been appointed chairman of the Meet committee, said they would look seriously at the prospect of holding the event over just one day next year.
The next open forum to discuss the future of the meet will be held at the Montalbo Hotel, Barnard Castle, on September 25, at 8pm.
