Despite the dry and challenging growing conditions this summer the fruit and veg exhibits were exceptional and there was an array of show stopping dahlias on display in the Village Hall.
Attendance was up by 15 percent and there was a slight increase in the number of entrants this year –
Always a lovely community occasion there’s a class for everyone whatever your age, from garden produce to handicrafts, flower arranging to photography. Sideshows included , Splat a Jack, Golf, Roller ball and Bowling for a Pig (well a Sunday roast!) East Woodhay Silver Band played and the everyone enjoyed the refreshments and barbecue.

After the presentation of cups by Show Chairman June Powell, the Grand Raffle was drawn and an auction of many of the exhibits
brought the Show to a close.
A big ‘Thank You’ from the Committee to all the volunteers who helped set up the Show, run
stalls and side shows, and provide the delicious teas. Thanks also to our generous
sponsors, judges and competitors, and to the ongoing support of Matthew Webber for the use of his field for parking – we couldn’t do it without any of you!
Profits from the show go towards the upkeep of the Hall.
