On Tuesday 28 August we held our pot luck supper in the Village Hall. We had a large group of over 30 members and non members who attended. We all enjoyed the evening and especially the delicious food provided by those present. Eva Rogers and Diana Scott organised a splendid quiz which was great fun. A huge thank you to Eva and Diana for giving us such an entertaining evening.

We held our autumn Annual Produce Show on Sunday 9 September which was very successful and the weather warm and sunny. The hall looked lovely and colourful with wonderful displays of flowers, vegetables, produce, baking and cookery and children's artwork. The judges remarked that the standard of exhibits was very high.

Thank you to everyone who made and donated cakes for our afternoon teas - they were enjoyed by all. Emma Welch announced the winners of our raffle prizes which was a large basket of fresh food hamper for 1st prize and bottles of wine and chutney for 2nd and 3rd prizes. She thanked everyone for coming and their continued support in giving us such a brilliant show.

The prizegiving started with a trophy being awarded to Joan Mordue for 'Best in Show'. Our president, Eva Rogers received several trophies including a trophy for most points in the show. Paula Gaffney won the trophy for most points in Spring and Summer shows. There were numerous prizes for children in many different categories. Well done to Zoe, Sophie and Ciara for scooping the top prizes! Finally, many thanks to Sam Cypher for auctioning off the surplus produce.

Our next meeting is on the 25th in Standlake Village Hall. This starts with our AGM at 7.30pm followed by our guest speaker Graeme Jago who will give us a talk on "Plant names and how to make sense of them." So please come along and join us; new members and non members are very welcome.

Our October meeting will be on Tuesday 23rd October 2018 at 7.30pm in Standlake Village Hall. Our guest speaker will be Peter Preece who will give us a talk on 'Every Picture tells a story, Part 2’.
