Recent Events.
The Show Committee displayed a tree at the St. Mary's Christmas Tree Festival. The committee thanks those who came up with the ideas and decorated the tree. Photos of the Christmas Tree can be found on the "Trees and Festivals" gallery page.
The 2024 AGM was held on 12th November and a summary of the meeting can be found on the AGM page
Show day, Sunday 8th September 2024.
Thanks to everyone who entered or visited the Show, it was another successful year. Exhibitor and visitor numbers were up which was great to see; we received the largest number of entries for several years. Again, the judges comments in all sections were very positive and the quality of the exhibits presented them with some difficulties in choosing 1st, 2nd and 3rd places. Photos of the exhibits can be found by clicking here and "best in section" winning exhibits can be found here
At the end of the Show, Gemma Lillywhite, Headteacher of St Mary’s Junior School, presented the trophies and awards, then Graham Merry presented the Basinga prizes for the photographic section. This was followed by the raffle draw and auction. A more detailed report of the Show can be found on the news page
The Committee's thanks go out to all of the non-committee members who helped out on the day and/or helped in setting up the Show. This help is essential to ensure the smooth running of the Show. The Committee also thanks those who donated items for the refreshments and produce stalls and also items for the auction. And last but not least, thanks to all of the organisations that sponsored the Show by advertising in the 2024 schedule and/or by donating prizes for the raffle. A list of those organisations can be found here.
