Another successful Show was held on 15th August in the Upwey Memorial Hall.

Entries were slightly up on last year although the dahlia entries were low. Forty-two exhibitors staged almost two hundred and fifty exhibits and the standard was high across the whole show.

The flowers, pot plants and floral art provided wonderful colour for visitors to enjoy. There were also magnificent vegetables and delicious looking cookery. The three photography classes attracted thirty-eight entries, a difficult task for the judge. The handicraft exhibits were excellent and the children’s delightful.

Well done to all who entered.
