Sunday, 16th August: Allotments Open Day & Scarecrow Competition
We are looking forward to welcoming you to our Open Allotments Day and to showing you around our allotments. Come and have a wander and have a cup of tea or coffee and a scrumptious slice of cake.Lots for children to do too, arts and crafts, quizzes and face painting.
Even more exciting is our scarecrow competition. This year our theme is Sci-fi characters….which when you google, covers a lot. So we can’t wait to see your wonderful creations. The crazier the better. Nicholson’s Nurseries have very kindly offered a lovely prize for the winners.

Monday, 31st August: Annual Show & Fun Dog Show
The countdown is on… our Annual Show is always the highlight of our calendar. The show is open to absolutely everyone, and as our eldest exhibitor will turn 100 the day before, there are no excuses.
Paper copies of the schedule are in the village shop NOW (in the magazine rack) if there are none there, please do send me a message on 07817025948 and I will top them up. Alternatively, you can view, download or print from this website here.
Limerick – Update
Following the Spring Show we had some feedback on the judging of this class, so to clarify our next steps. The schedule for the Summer Show has already been printed, so these rules need to be followed. We will also remind the judge that they need to judge to these rules as well.
Class 91. Complete the following limerick “There once was a lady called Claire…”
(with 8 syllables in the 1st, 2nd and 5th line and 5 syllables in the 3rd and 4th lines)
The structure will then be looked at again and reconfirmed for 2027
Fun side shows… welly wanging… bat the rat… pegs on a clothes line… in our survey following last year’s show, many people said we needed more ‘cool fun cheaper stuff’ to do. WE LOVE that response, only problem is our committee are busy with the actual exhibit part of the show. SO… if you were the people who said we need FUN, we would love your help on the day. Get a friend involved, bring the equipment, we can find a table, and raise money for the society, but mostly to bring a smile to the visitors (please get in touch if you’d like to help)
