3Hs Gardening Club Annual Produce Show – Saturday 15th August

This Saturday (15th August) the 3Hs Gardening club is running their annual produce show at Hornton Sports Pavilion. It is the main event of the club each year and provides a forum for the members to show what they’ve been doing in the areas of cultivation and preparation of fruit, flowers, vegetables, cookery and preserves.

Chairman Mike Patching says:

This year will be a particular challenge due to the hot weather, no rain and parched earth, but I’m sure that the members will rise to the occasion and that all the sections will produce some amazing examples of their skill no matter what Mother Nature has thrown at them. The exhibitors will be able to stage their entries from 9.15am to 11.15am, and judging will commence at 11.30.

At 2.30 the show will re-open and everyone will be welcome to come and see the display, enjoy a cup of tea kindly provided by the WI, and the trophy presentations. Unless something extraordinary happens, the weather will be fine making for a pleasant afternoon and maybe persuade others to become members. After the show the produce will either return to the entrant or be sold or given away.
