The Society held an Apple Day this year and it was enjoyed by those who supported the event. Many varieties of apples, pears and other fruit were on display, some of which were available for tasting and purchase. A wide range of homemade jams, chutneys and pickles were also available for purchase. Other attractions included demonstrations of ‘juicing’, a local beekeeper with honey for sale, cheeses, fruit trees, refreshments and of course the pork rolls. The event is organised and staged by a ‘small and hardworking team’, this year having to draft in several volunteers to help on the day. We thank all those who helped and everyone who came along.

What a fantastic show on a glorious, hot and sunny day. The committee had decided to use a new style marquee this year for the various horticultural classes and ‘by jingo’ it most certainly seemed to work. We received many favourable comments from visitors to the show including, ‘refreshing’, ‘a new look to the show’, ‘so much lighter’ and ‘more modern’. Visitors were provided with varied entertainment including a marching band, the brilliant Dako Flying Angels, a stilt walker, Punch and Judy, numerous stalls, exhibits and refreshments. We thank everyone who helped or supported the show in any way. 👏👍🏻

PS: Just in case you are wondering about the lack of visitors, the images were taken during the morning of the show, largely for the purpose of ‘showing off’ the new style marquee.
