The Slinfold Brass Band played, the refreshments and beer tents did roaring business on such a hot day.

Inside the Horticultural Marquee the exhibited flowers, vegetables and homefare kept cool for judging.

The Dog Show attracted a wide range of dogs who all have been reported to have behaved impeccably.
