As there was no show last year, it was a great pleasure to attend the resumption of this popular event. Given the near drought which has persisted up to the show day, a remarkable variety of vegetables, fruits, flowers and baked items were on display, with special classes for the youngsters. As usual the show was organised by Maureen Jeffery and Janet Smith, ably assisted by Graham Roberts and daughter Shelley.

Fab photos Colin. Thanks
Agree with Libbie – great photos, lovely memories of a happy day. Even if I am still a bit grumpy that my apricot jam didn’t even get a “highly commended”!
