THE flower show SHOW: The 64th Annual Flower SHOW was held on 11th August 2007. For the first time in decades the Society had a gratifying surplus in funds which will enable us to start the 65th Show off well. Thanks to everyone who supported us - prize sponsors, show sponsors and raffle prize donors - and of course, everyone who visited the show. Feedback is everyone enjoyed the show - there was lots to see and do throughout the day. We hope to see you all again in 2008 - helping to keep the great village show alive.
