Summer Show, 2nd August 2008
The show was held on Saturday 2nd August at the popular venue of St. Nicholas Church Centre, Bedhampton. The Show proved even more successful than last year and was well supported by approximately 120 visitors and a record number of 274 entries of a good standard.
Thanks to Geoff Tanton, Show Manager, Mrs Maureen Ballard–Neale, Entries Secretary, and the rest of the team for organising this enjoyable event. And thanks to all exhibitors, judges and supporters, without you the show wouldn’t go on at all!
