HORTICULTURAL SHOW: Organisers of the Windmill Hill Horticultural Society Annual Show were concerned that the unusually hot and dry weather this summer would affect flower and vegetable entries. Some classes were much reduced, but others, such as tomatoes, had many entries. The judges were complimentary about the standard of entries, and the good weather contributed to a most enjoyable afternoon. The new Tasker Trophy, in memory of Ronnie and Frank Tasker was presented by their son David, over from Canada following the death of ‘our lovely past president’ a few days before the show. Tea and cake, a great bric-a-brac stall, hoopla and bowling for the pig all added to the happy atmosphere. Why not have a go next year if you like to grow stuff, bake, arrange flowers or like handicraft there is bound to be a class to suit you.

RACE NIGHT: On Saturday October 27 at 7.30pm at Reid Hall, Boreham Street, this is a fundraiser for the WVHT Trust. Tickets are £10 which includes a fish and chips supper. There is a licensed bar. To book please call 07801 708937 or 07951 019660.
