28 July 2023 - STOP PRESS! Tomorrow's Veg Show timing
A helpful subscriber to these Newsbites has mentioned that the published timing for the Veg Show is a bit vague.
It's true, mea culpa. The poster just says: Saturday 29th July 2023, 9.30-12.00 at the Mission Hall.
So, to clarify the running order:
- The poor souls who work their backsides off behind the scenes (more unsung heroes) will be preparing things from the early hours while you sleep
- We would like those of you who are submitting veg, fruit, cakes, jams and other exotica to bring them by 9.30
- For the rest of you, excited by the prospect of viewing the culinary delights and voting for your favourites, queues will be forming early for entry at 10.00
- Counting the votes will start at 11.00, so that's time to sit back and enjoy a cuppa - and watch the Spud-in-a-Tub weigh-in
- Presentations of the magnificent certificates (and a couple of priceless trophies) to the winners will be at 11.45
- And finally, while you trot off home for lunch, we'll be mopping up the tears spilled by the non-winners* - and getting the Mission Hall clean and shiny again
See you there!
