P&TG Village Show 2021
Since our last article in Village Voice we are still
planning to hold the Penn & Tylers Green
Village Show on Saturday 18th September at
the Tylers Green Village Hall with the same
class list we planned in 2020. The class details
are online and we have included our Facebook
and website details at the bottom of this news.
For those with green fingers, nurture your
floribunda, cluster, or hybrid roses, so they are
in perfect condition later this year and don’t
forget to have a rose that will be judged by its
scent only. Other flowers to nourish and care for
are chrysanthemums, dahlias, hydrangeas, and
those that flower in these colours; blue, purple,
white, pink, red, orange, or yellow. So, plenty to
choose from and enter a number of classes.
With your vegetables I am sure some of you
have already started to grow or are about to
plant radishes, carrots, salad leaves, onions,
chillies, squash, and tomatoes. Or, if you want
to aim for the heaviest vegetable then see what
you can do to beat 3kg for a marrow entered a
couple of years ago. Lastly, it may be early to do
much with your fruit but a little extra attention
with your cooking apples, pears, berries, (any
variety), and other homegrown fruit as they
begin to set and grow gives you a chance to
enter these classes as well. We have added a
class for the unusual shaped home grown fruit,
giving everything the chance to be considered.
Have a look at the class list so you can
practise your baking, cooking and preserve
making for those classes. Any recipes specified
for classes are on our website and the Village
Voice website. We’ll also be featuring lots of
inspiration through regular Facebook posts so
make sure you follow us for the latest news.
Why not have a go and see which trophy you
will win in 2021? Printed schedules will also be
available in the usual places around the village
(local shops and then the pubs and Village Hall
when they re-open). We will let you know
when they are available. In the meantime, put
Saturday 18th September Village Show in your
diary and we look forward seeing you on the

Update from the P&TGRS
As regular readers will spot, the Residents
Society would normally publish our Annual
Report in this issue of Village Voice.
However, as we all know, the last year has
been anything but normal, so we have decided
to re-organise our schedule this year to take
advantage of the roadmap out of lockdown.
On July 9th we will hold an AGM, reduced to
its statutory elements, and combined with our
first face-to face Board meeting for a year. At
that meeting, Miles Green is stepping down
after being Chairman or Vice-Chairman since
the Society was formed in 2003. He will stay
on the Board of Directors, but we will be
