The new chair of the Canterbury A&P Association Board is determined to get the show back on the road.\xa0
Former Speaker of Parliament Sir David Carter has taken the reins in the lead-up to November's scaled-back event.\xa0
Carter says he wants to see the event continue for generations to come.\xa0
He told Mike Hosking personality issues made the relationship between previous board members and the general committee dysfunctional, which caused it to fall apart.\xa0
Carter says that's not good enough, and Christchurch can't have a Show Week without its iconic show.\xa0
He said that the biggest job will be getting financial supporters on-side.\xa0
