SPREYTON FLOWER SHOW – SATURDAY 18TH AUGUST
Although this is months in advance we need to give all the keen gardeners, flower growers, plenty of notice! This show has been running since the late 1950’s so it is well established and one of our biggest annual fundraising events for the Village Trust. It is not just a “flower show” there are classes for all to enter. Below is just a sample from our 2011 Show of things that can be entered. There is a children’s section that ranges from 5-7 yrs, 8-11 yrs and 12-15. These classes alter each year to coincide with the topics that are being studied in the school.
will be held in The Village Hall On Saturday, August 20th 2011 At 2.30pm
