December 2024 The Show Committe 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 in the "Trees and Festivals" gallery page.

12th November 2024The AGM was held in the Pavilion Tea Room, Recreation Ground and a brief summary of the meeting can be found on the AGM page which includes the Chairman's report. Thanks to all of the non-committee members who came along to support the AGM.

September 2024 The weather was quite "mixed" in the days leading up to the Show but apart from a rain shower just before opening, the weather was kind to us during staging in the morning and again in the afternoon. It was great to see an increase in entries and also a number of new entrants, some of whom won prizes and also awards.

Despite the weather earlier in the week, most of the flower classes were well subscribed although the rose exhibits were showing some signs of rain damage (the weather is never right for us keen gardeners!!). Numbers were well up in the handicraft and domestic sections and again the childrens section was well subscribed. 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.

Thanks to everyone who entered and/or came along to visit the Show. And, as mentioned on the home 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

June 2024 Members of the Show committee arranged an exhibit at St Mary’s Church for this year's Flower Festival. The exhibit was a recycled and updated version of the Show's "greenhouse in a wheelbarrow" that was part of the 2023 carnival procession. Photos of the exhibit can be found on the festivals and trees gallery page.
