Well done everyone, and thanks so much to the organisers for another great show. These things do take an enormous amount of effort to organise – and all offers of help are gratefully received. Do get in touch if you think you could help next time round.
This year’s Hort Soc Annual Show will take place in
the Village Hall on Sat 9th September and will be
open to the public from 2pm. Tea, coffee,
homemade cakes and chat will be available.
The showing of prize vegetables and flowers is,
and always has been, a very British pastime. So do
come long to support your fellow villagers and
help to continue a particularly local and historic
tradition.
Better still, why not indulge your competitive
streak and enter an exhibit? As well as Fruit, Veg
and Flowers, there are classes in cookery,
photography and crafts.
There are still a few places available for this year’s coach trip to RHS Wisley for their 25th Flower Show on 5th September but you need to be quick to snap them up.
Tickets are £20 per person. Please contact Rachel Watts on 01494 785322 to book.
Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity!
