Woodhouse Eaves Horticultural and Craft Show 2024
Celebrating Horticulture and Craft
Early September saw the return of the Woodhouse Eaves Horticultural & Craft show to the village hall. Like last year the event was held on a smaller scale and again it was a great success. The tables were filled with entries, and the room was buzzing with people enjoying the exhibits, wonderful cakes, coffee and tea. Our aim was to get more children under 13 to take part in the show and this year they made up one third of the overall entries. Even more amazing, several children entered adult classes and went on to win them. The show entries were judged by members of the National Guild of Judges. The Valerie Fitchett Cup, most points in the under-13 categories, was awarded to Savannah and the Randon Cup, most points in the under-10 categories, went to Juliet. In the adult classes the Woodhouse Eaves Cup, for highest overall points, was a joint win between Neil Roberts and Wendy Young. The committee would like to thank everyone who entered exhibits, the people volunteering to help out on the day, the local businesses donating raffle prizes and everyone who donated a cake for the catering. Without you all the show wouldn't exist. Also, a special thank you to the 'older' members of the committee who have organised the show ever since it was first held. After two years of showing the new members of the committee how things are done, they would now like to retire. Thank you Wendy, Linda, Liz, Lynne, Mervyn and John. The money raised at the event will go towards a picnic table in the new garden by the Youth & Community Hall, and a donation to LOROS and Rainbows. The next Woodhouse Eaves Horticultural & Craft Show is scheduled for Saturday, 30th August 2025. We hope you can join us for another celebration of growing and crafting. Classes will be printed in the April 2025 edition of Roundabout. Entry forms, rules and tips will appear on the parish council website from June onwards. See you next year.
