It was with some trepidation that the committee awaited entries for the MUWAGA show this year. Would we get any and how many? Did anyone have any vegetables and flowers left? After a blisteringly hot summer and a hosepipe ban we were rather doubtful. However, gardeners as ever are resourceful and produced some high quality veg, flowers and fruit. In fact, top fruit has done incredibly well this year.
The tables in the hall looked very attractive with their new black cloths and cane class dividers filled with peoples produce.
The cookery classes were well supported and the bakes looked delicious. The photo and handicraft classes had some interesting entries and the young boy who was our single child entry was delighted with his prize card, sweets and especially his medal.
The garden flowers were beautiful and got a lot of attention from visitors who also enjoyed taking part in ‘The people’s choice’ award for best flower arrangement.
Refreshments were very popular and the chairs and tables laid out in the garden were busy throughout the afternoon. Many thanks to everyone for their tea and cake donations. It was lovely to see our members and visitors having a good time.
We had some different cup winners which is always nice and people went home feeling glad that they had participated in the day. No doubt a few also went home thinking I really wish I’d entered that class after all because my veg would certainly have won!
So, thank you to everyone who took part, to our visitors, helpers and show committee who make this such a lovely village event.
