21 July 2016 - Vegetable Show and Ploughman's and Pimms Party
Dear all,
You should by now - especially if intending to enter - have the date of the Village Vegetable Show firmly in your diary - Saturday 6 August at the Mission Hall. 9.30am for competitors to display their wares, members of the public from circa 10.30am onwards. All the traditional categories will be on display, including the famous “spud in a tub” competition for the Des Evans trophy for the heaviest quantity of spuds grown in a tub. Unfortunately there is no Scarecrow competition this year due to a lack of entries, but the other prize givings will start at 11.45am.
What you won't have in your diary - because it has only just been announced - is the Ploughman's and Pimms Party also at the Mission Hall on the same day, Saturday 6 August, from 5pm until 8pm. An added attraction is that Balfey's Community Bakers (the BCB Irregulars) will be making the bread to go with the ham or cheese ploughman's buffet. What more incentive do you need? The cost has been pegged at last year's prices - £10 for adults, £4 for under-18s, free for under-3s (and ageing Welshmen?) - and tickets can be booked by ringing Sue on 834209. So do come along and enjoy a glass of Pimms (with all the usual foliage, including strawberries, cucumber, mint, ice etc) accompanied by a delicious ploughman's with homemade bread in the Mission Hall garden (or the Hall itself if the weather is inclement).
Regards
Chris
