We were very pleased with our Summer Show this year, held on Saturday 15th August. Entries were up compared to the last few years with 330 entries from 43 exhibitors.
The hall looked wonderful, filled with colour. The judges were impressed with the high standard of exhibits considering the hot, dry weather this summer. Visitors clearly enjoyed the spectacle as well as the teas and homemade cakes kindly provided by members.

The flower arrangements were excellent, seventeen in all.
