Produce show report

The first ever EGAA produce show and stall, held at the village fete, was a huge success - lots of superb entries, plenty of people coming down to see them and sunny skies all day. Check below for some photos of the day, many thanks to photographer Sam Frost for these.

Sincere thanks are also due to our judges Jane and Robert Fearnley-Whittingstall, as well all the EGAA members who helped out in any way - in particular Martyn Wright, Martin Digweed and Vanessa Lee who did the bulk of the work. Vanessa then also went on to win 'best in show' for an immaculate collection of vegetables - thanks again to Franchi Seeds for supplying the first prize. Finally, Pat Murphy certainly deserves a mention for his amazing impromptu appearance as auctioneer - raising additional funds for the Association and other village groups. Exact figures are still to be calculated but altogether we certainly raised over £300.

Following such a great day we certainly plan to make this an annual event and look forward to an even bigger and better show in our second year.
