Spring Show
Whilst the sun might not have been shining Capel Memorial Hall was full of bright and cheerful exhibits at this year’s Spring Show on Sunday 8th April. Narcissi and other flowering bulbs sat alongside spring flowers, sticks of rhubarb and vegetable exhibits. The children’s entries put a smile on every face and the amazing home baking presented some mouth-watering treats. In this 125thanniversary year for the Society a couple of Mrs Beeton’s recipes were included providing a great talking point and a test of modern culinary skills.
Exhibitors aged from 2 to almost 90 helped keep this well-loved event alive, next stop the Summer Show on Saturday 18 August.
Congratulations to cup winners, Suzanne Burlinson, Chris Coke and the two juniors Alyssa Chilvers and Joey Hopkins.
