O<br />
ur Spring Show had a wonderful and entertaining display of<br />
beauty and talent. It was enjoyed by all who came. A record<br />
year for total number of entries and we were delighted that several<br />
were first time exhibitors.<br />
The triumph of the Show was having the Floral Art arrangements restored to<br />
former glory and filling the entire length of the Community Hall. Congratulations<br />
to all entrants but particularly those who rose to the challenge and entered for the<br />
first time, two of whom received first and second place in their categories!<br />
As always with gardening there are challenges; the weather and creepy crawlies<br />
conspired against the daffodils, which meant there were not so many on display<br />
as in previous years, but there were plenty of other Spring Flowers and early<br />
vegetables to enjoy.<br />
There was an incredibly high standard of art and craft work as well as over thirty<br />
photographs. Some delicious home produce, with the most popular being the<br />
carrot cake and the fruit curd. Sadly, only a handful of children entered the Junior<br />
classes but those that did had made a wonderful effort producing some lovely<br />
pieces.<br />
Photographer Tim White was busy with his camera, see a selection below and on<br />
the front page of this <strong>WCA</strong> newsletter.<br />
We’ll soon be preparing for our next show in the<br />
Autumn, on Saturday, 8th September.<br />
Why not come and join in? Everyone is welcome!<br />
