Harvest Show 2023

Hi all

Many thanks to all those who helped and took part in our Show this year.  Another wonderful display and, again, loads of colour.    

We had a good entry for our new category of Arts & Crafts – so much hidden talent and the ‘Alcoholic’ drink category was put to the test by many after the judging had taken place of course.

Following is the list of winners of the various categories and some photos.

Could it be you on the list next year? – Every exhibit makes such a difference to the show.    We have a few different names on the winners lists this year, but it still looks like the committee members need more competition.
