Our summer show in the Village Hall is always a wonderful display of colour and scent as there are numerous classes for both sweet peas and roses. Other flowers such as delphiniums, sweet williams, pansies, pinks, fuchsias and carnations all have their own classes as do pot plants. Classes for fruit and vegetables, such as strawberries, raspberries and other soft fruits: broad beans, beetroot, cabbages, potatoes, peas and many many more. Floral art is always popular and this year there are three classes and six classes in the domestic section plus one class for eggs from any domestic fowl. The handicraft section is growing fast and has obtained a very high standard, with classes for painting, knitting, embroidery, sewing, canvaswork, woodwork and soft furnishing, with a separate class for anything other than the above. The junior section has 4 classes, 2 for each age group: up to 10 years and 11 – 16 years.
