The day started out warm and sunny. The major part of setting up went quite quickly but as the opening time approaches, the sky darkened and it looked as though storm clouds were gathering. Fears were realise when it began raining just as the event was getting under way.  It turned out to be light rain and not at all prolonged. The clouds passed and the rest of the day was warm and sunny again. Once again there were plenty of produce entries. The first arrived at about eleven thirty. The quality of entries was once again very high especially in the fruit area. The winning marrow entry was, of course, once again magnificent as were the winning carrots.
Following the judging, presentations and raffle the afternoon was rounded off with an auction of donated produce entries.

As always the quality (and quantity) of the dishes provided by members was superb and a great afternoon was enjoyed by all.

Once again thanks go to:- 

  • Keith for taking control of the 'project'.
  • Other members of the committee for their efforts to make the vision a reality.
  • Special thanks go to the judges for the onerous task of judging.
  • Other helpers particularly Barbara for making the bunting and Harriet for blowing up baloons.
  • Margaret and Joyce for helping with the drinks
  • All who donated prizes.
  • All who spent hours over hot stoves to povide the food.
  • Chris for making and donating the winner's rosettes and certificates.

Finally thanks go to all who participated and made the event once again a great success.
