It may be that during the ‘covid 19 lock down’ you have re assessed your outdoor space and will have changed your style of gardening and the plants which you grow, we would love to see the results next year. We have done most of the preparation for the show including much of the work on this Annual Show Schedule. Please scan through it – have you seen the new section on Society’s activities near the back? And check out the adverts for local businesses. Our thanks go to the advertisers who make it possible to distribute printed copies free and will not be charged for their adverts until we ‘go to print’ either this year or next. My grateful thanks go to the hard working members of the committee, all of whom spend the best part of the year preparing for the show,and to our judges, along with the volunteers who act as stewards. Without their dedication and help we would not have a show. At a time when many shows around the country are being cancelled due to lack of interest it is a matter of great pride for our village that our show goes from strength to strength. We need more committee members and helpers to keep the show interesting and fresh. If you can spare any time at all to help with this,
