After a long wait of seven years, the village show returned this month on a sunny Saturday which was perfect for the revival of this lovely community event.
It was a joy to see so many new exhibitors as well as the remarkably loyal cooks and vegetable growers who have been the backbone of this event for decades in many cases. As always, the decisions the judges had to make were hard and in some cases, almost impossible, and we hope that every competitor knows how much it’s appreciated that they took the time and effort to enter. Your creativity, effort and community spirit filled the hall with colour, delicious fragrance from the flowers and baking exhibits, fascinating creative work, which all helped to showcase the wonderful talents within our community. We are really grateful for the time and care you all put into making it such a success.
We also want to say a very big ‘thank you’ to the Village Hall Committee who worked so hard at keeping us supplied with delicious refreshments which were appreciated by all. Tasty cakes, tea and coffee kept everyone smiling and energised enough to have another wander around the show once they had enjoyed a chat with friends and family.
We know that every community event is only as good as the fantastic volunteers who bake cakes, help out on the day, do the judging, help clear the hall and tidy up… the list is endless. Thank you for all your help behind the scenes, the show just wouldn’t happen without you.
We hope you enjoyed the event, congratulations to everyone!
Patrick and Sue Jarvis
