EAST WOODHAY FLOWER SHOW \u2013 Saturday 19 August 2023
After a week of rain the sun shone on the day and a wonderful crowd packed East Woodhay Village
Hall. The Floral classes were well supported this year with some excellent displays. With a twenty
six percent increase in the number of entrants there was an extensive array of cakes and bakes,
preserves, photographs, handicrafts, children\u2019s classes, spectacular dahlias, and fruit and veg \u2013 even
wonky ones!
Entertainment was provided by East Woodhay Silver Band, and youngsters were thrilled by a guest
appearance from \u2018Bluey\u2019. There were also sideshows, stalls, a barbecue, and the ever-popular teas.
Chairman of the Show, June Powell, won the Ladies\u2019 Challenge cup. Ninety-six year old Les
Barber, who has been competing at the Show since he was eight, carried off the Hayes Challenge
Cup and the Canon Stephenson cup. Gillian Pocock won the Coronation Cup, the Mrs. R. Thomas
