On Saturday 25 June we held our Summer Flower show in the village hall, with plenty of entries, particularly from the children, Rainbows, Brownies, and Primary School. The show was very well attended and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves looking at the many entries and chatting over a cup of tea and a piece of cake. For those that missed the show this page shows the results and a selection of photos showing the fine displays and exhibits of the day.
Our thanks go to the everyone that entered the 59 separate classes and to Colin Barber, our Show Secretary, who organised another fantastic show.
