Timings for your diary:

Bring entries to the Hall at 12.00. Judging from 1pm. Show Opens 2pm. Finally as always as we are only a very small village so we are always extremely keen and hugely delighted for any volunteers as judges - (it is very informal), tombola prizes are most welcome (please bring to hall Friday 6th from 6pm or drop off at White House opposite). This can include any unwanted, unused toiletries, bottles, beads, bangles etc...

And of course entrants - just in case you are new to the village or haven't entered before , please do - this is not about the competitive element, it is all about joining in and having a fun afternoon...You don't have to be a flower arranger, or a cake baker or a vegetable grower - please just come along and if the only flower you have in your garden is a daisy in the lawn ... then brilliant bring it and we will love it all the more!--
