SHOW CLASS WINNERS – 2024

The list of Winners in each Class is shown below, the judging criteria come from the RHS, to ensure consistency between Village Shows. Judging is blind so the judges don’t know who has submitted the entry.

If you require advice please speak to anyone on the committee, please don’t be put off, most of us have never read the manual, we just enter the best looking flowers and veg from our garden!

Sometimes there are no entries as the weather and growing conditions prevailed.
