The 50th anniversary Pahiatua
Shears, which were to have been held tomorrow (Sunday) have
been cancelled following tonight’s announcement of

leading up to the three-day 61st Golden Shears scheduled to
start in Masterton on Thursday but also now unlikely to go
ahead.
Also impacted are the Wairarapa Pre-Shears
Woolhandling Championships scheduled to take place in the
Riverside Farm woolshed at Mikimiki, north of Masterton, on
Saturday.
More than 100 shearers were expected for the
Pahiatua Shears, most having also taken part in the
