Welcome to the Old Basing and Lychpit Village Show web site
Max Deadman
The Committee was saddened to hear of the death of our former treasurer and committee member Max Deadman. Max joined the committee as treasurer in 2003 and remained in that role until 2007, then continued to serve as a member playing an active part throughout, before retiring from the main committee affairs at the end of 2015. After that, both he and his wife Jackie became honorary Vice-Presidents of the Show.
Max regularly put entries into the Show including the “men and boys” cake class and in 2009 won the Ann West Award for best entry in the domestic section. More recently, he has dedicated himself to looking after Jackie who herself was a committee member for 25 years, including a term as Chair.
Our thoughts go out to Jackie and the family.
The 2026 Show will be held on Sunday 6th September 2026.
Please put the date in your diary. More information can be found on the 2026 Show page.
