It was an event with regulars and new faces at the hall both displaying their products and admiring the entries and enjoying home baking, arts and crafts.

The judges were Robert and Rannveig Wallis, who chose the winners after what was described as ‘a challenging summer with unusual weather’, but the quality of home-grown fruit and vegetables was judged to be ‘outstanding’.
