2013 Show

There were a record number of vegetable entries in the 27th Halwill Flower and Produce Show held on 31st August. Unfortunately the cookery and handicraft entries were down but overall the total entries were up on last year so that the staging of them expanded into the Jubilee Suite extension. Over 100 people came through the door to view the show in the afternoon and took part in the successful raffle. As usual there was a suggestion sheet available for exhibitors and members of the public to contribute ideas for next years schedule and show.

The cups and prizes were presented by long Angela Bertram.
