Year on year the number of Plot Holders who exhibit at the Village Horticultural Show increases.
This year was the 120th Show, & Plot Holders made up a significant number of the entries across all the classes, & we won many of the prizes and awards in the Flower, Veg, Fruit, Cookery and Floral Art & Craft Classes.
The effects of the hot, dry summer was very evident in the vegetable classes - only 3 entries in the Potato, Runner Bean Beetroot Classes. The Tomato Classes were hotly contested, especially amongst Plot Holders, and saw a significant increase in the number of entries.
