It was so lovely to see lots of people in the Margaret Harker Hall on Saturday afternoon, 16th July, for our Golden Anniversary Summer Show. There were a good number of entries in all the vegetable, fruit, flowers and plants categories – so well done members, considering the very strange weather conditions we have seen this year. The home produce section was also well supplied with jams, marmalades, chutneys, breads both hand made and machine made, cheese scones, jam tarts, chocolate muffins and a new idea – a honey and walnut cake made to a specified recipe.
Refreshments were available and the raffle, cake and tombola stalls were popular. It was a pleasure to see so many people including retired club members able to visit and stay for a chat.
At the end of the afternoon the prizes were presented to much applause, then Peter Mackness kindly acted as auctioneer again to sell off produce donated by Club members.
The Club is very grateful to the children of Blofield School who put together a stunning collage of a garden and woodland scene, that was shown to great effect within the hall.
The centre piece of the afternoon was the floral display shown by Club Chair June Drake: the title was “All that glitters” and she made the most of highlighting the Club’s 50th anniversary with her golden display.
The Show Secretary, Sylvia Nelthorpe, added “I would like to thank everyone that helped in any way to make the day so enjoyable.”
