“As a very small and dedicated committee we really love seeing the entries rolling in on the Sunday prior to the Show,” the Society said.
The Horticulture Section promises to be flush with colour and some great vegetables, fruit and herbs. This year the category of “Garden/Sun Hat” has been added - so, get your hat with the character or decorate a lovely sunhat to be in the running to win.
For the little ones, the ever popular “Grass Heads” and “Fruit and Veg Art Display” are still included; but this year - Steward Julie has added the “Fairy or Adventure Garden” section for those who have great imaginations.
The Cookery section is calling on all fudge makers out there to enter their best recipe.
The popular photography section has included the “Drone” section again, along with new sections to include “Weather”, “Action or Sports” and “Travel” photography.
