MUWAGA Summer Show 2024

 The MUWAGA Summer Show took place on SATURDAY AUGUST 10th at the Milton under Wychwood Village Hall, with tea and cake provided by Milton Womens’ Institute.

The MUWAGA Annual Produce Show had previously been a longstanding fixture in the village calendar and after an absence of five years MUWAGA decided that it was long due a return.

In the past, responsibility for its organisation had fallen on the shoulders of a few, so this time a subcommittee was formed to take on the task and share the workload.

This group of newbies were helped enormously by past masters for which the subcommittee are enormously grateful. They told us to hold our nerve when two days to go we had only three entries and were met with mutterings and musings to the effect that there had been terrible weather and nothing had been grown to exhibit!

Sure enough on the closing day for entries many more appeared and were gratefully received with a big sigh of relief. The show could go on.

A steady build-up of interest!

A few hiccoughs occurred – one or two schedules appeared to differ, boxes for entry forms were mislaid and some classes were not well represented. Entrants worried about wonky beans and differing sized courgettes but on the day the overriding impression was of a most joyous occasion.

Visitors thrilled at the exhibits, took great delight at being involved in the “Peoples Vote” for the best flower arrangements and were fortified by magnificent teas supplied by Sandy Bradshaw and the WI, not to mention the chance of winning a hamper on the raffle together with talking ‘Big veg’ with Gerald.

At the end of the afternoon the cups were awarded. Special mention must go to Nicky Pratt and the other cup winners but every single entry was truly award-winning and gave enormous pleasure to the many visitors who attended in the afternoon. Also of course many thanks to our judges, for giving us their time and expertise.
