A show for the village!

This Saturday saw the quintessentially English Geddington Village show. Sadly the weather forecast had been poor, but the afternoon was at least dry and David Milner (Show Chairman) said that attendance had been reasonable in all the circumstances.

Later in the afternoon, when the awards had been made, the produce donatedby the exhibitors was auctioned to raise funds for the Gardening Club.
