Despite the threat of severe weather
conditions local people entered
into the true spirit of village
shows and contributed nearly 900
entries for judging in Classes
from Horticulture and Handicraft
to Baking and Photography. One
of the highlights was the commitment
and enthusiasm shown by young
people who submitted a magnificent
300 entries in the Children’s
Section. All the judges expressed
their delight at the number of
participants and at the very high
quality of the entries.
However,
the poor weather forecast did
deter visitors, but those who
did venture out enjoyed an excellent
display by the Mordor Gun Dog
Display team and were also entertained
by the Sheep Show, the Dog Rally
and got involved in the archery
and climbing wall. Once again
children thoroughly enjoyed the
activities in the dedicated Children’s
Marquee with face painting, circus
skills, singing and bubble making
to participate in.
I
am most grateful to the many local
people who have taken so much
time and effort to support their
village show and create such a
wonderful exhibition marquee,
in spite of the poor weather.
