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
