They were followed by the children’s races and then, to the amusement of the younger children, Professor Potty performed his magic tricks.

The Owls about Town, a static display of owls and birds of prey rescued from the wild, was also very popular with visitors.

The local croquet club and table tennis club held free open sessions to introduce their sports to everyone who passed by.

The show’s annual general meeting is on Friday November 30 in West Chiltington village hall at 7.30pm, and everyone is welcome.
