PRODUCE AND FLOWER SHOW: Many thanks to all those who entered and attended this year’s Flower & Produce Show. The committee were very thrilled with the turn out and number of entries considering the difficult summer it has been for gardeners. We were particularly excited to see the scarecrows that have been appearing around the village over the past weeks. Sadly, the scarecrow at Underwood was destroyed by passers by but this did not deter others from displaying their creative characters. After careful consideration and trips around the village, the judges decided that the winning entry was the lady cyclist entered by Chris Murphy and Sue Ashfield, well done both. Cup winners this year were: Sue Simpson for the Tuson Perpetual Challenge Cup (for most points in the vegetable section); Diana White for the Flower Cup; Claire Ballard for the Rose Bowl (flower arrangements); Claire McMaster for the Cookery Cup; Zara McCutchan for the Children’s Challenge Shield; Jenny McCutchan for the Photographic Cup; Sue Simpson for the Ron Church Memorial Cup (for most first prizes in all sections). Claire Ballard and Jackie Appleton share the Edna Ellinor Plate for Best in Show which is judged by a visitors’ vote. This year the plate was presented by Eileen Haywood, daughter of Edna Ellinor, and we would once again like to express our thanks to the Ellinor family for their continued support of our show.
