IF it had not been for the August funfair, the programme of events at the Meridian Showground in Cleethorpes would have been a total wipeout.
This emerged at a meeting of North East Lincolnshire Council's tourism panel.
According to Lincs Inspire - the organisation charged with staging events at the showground - a full programme of events had been lined up until covid struck.
The only reason that the funfair was able to proceed is that, in August, the disease seemed to be on the wane and organisers were able to implement strict social distancing and hygiene measures.
Undeterred, Lincs Inspire's chief executive, Sue Wells, and her team are looking ahead to next spring summer and autumn by when it is hoped the virus will have either been eradicated or at least wrestled to the floor.
"We have a full schedule for next years," she told councillors.
