There were very few sweet peas entries, due to a poor growing season for the delicate plants and entries were slightly down on all produce classes due to similar reasons.

But children’s entries were up and the space station models made out of recycled materials drew many happy comments.

Plenty of stalls kept the patrons busy and the cream teas went down nicely.
