Last year’s summer show was a very happy event with lots of people joining in for the first time. We particularly welcome new entrants and although the Show is a competition, everybody who enters is willing to help those who are not sure where or how to display their entry.

Come and join us on August 20^th, whether to enter the classes or simply to enjoy afternoon tea while seeing what your neighbours have produced!
