Hide AdAlthough we would like to see more children participating in the show, those who entered this year had obviously worked exceptionally hard to produce some very high quality exhibits and imaginative displays.
We would like to give a huge thank you to the Birch Grove Estate who most generously funded the cost of the show programmes and banner and have agreed to fund the cost of engraving the trophies.
We would also like to thank The High Weald Dairy, Bluebell Vineyard and Bluebell Railway for their generosity in donating raffle prizes and their constant support.
