Visitors flocked to see what the group had to offer on August 5, which included magnificent floral displays, impressive local produce exhibits, and delicate corsages.

The exhibitor turnout was the best it has been for more than 30 years, with a record number of entries in both the group’s spring and summer shows.

The event also saw plenty of tea and homemade cakes to visitors to tuck into, before some 20 trophies and prizes were handed out to the winners.

The society is now looking ahead to its next event on September 21 called ‘Anyone can grow vegetables’, and will feature a talk in the Quaker Meeting House ay 7.30pm.
