Your Flower Show Needs You!

Please Help!

Can you spare some time during the evening on Thursday 3rd and Friday 4th August to help set up this year’s show?

We meet on the Showground at 6pm likely finished by 8pm each evening with a free drink in the pub to finish!

Without volunteers the Show wouldn’t happen, so please spare an hour or two.

Many thanks. Jim Walton, President
