2014 Show report

Saturday 13 September 2014

getting ready ready for halloween

A beautiful Indian Summer Day brought visitors flocking to this year's show. Fresh from the excitement of watching the Tour of Britain zoom through the village at lunchtime, a wander round the show tent was a much more leisurely affair!

Congratulations to Best in Show winner George Baty who will have to share mantlepiece space for his trophy with wife Elaine as she won the Katie Stewart Cup for best gingerbread!

We would like to thank everyone who took part, visited, bought raffle tickets and baked cakes. Thanks also go to Bryan & Sue Mayou for hosting us, to all the businesses who sponsored classes, gave raffle prizes and placed adverts in the program and to Hamptons who sponsored the Show and helped on the day with raffle ticket sales. Plans are afoot for the next show and details will be coming soon.
