Vegetables, Fruit and Flower Section
Well you could virtually grow anything and there would be a class for it.
In Memory of Alby Dale
Potatoes, all sorts of beans, onions and eschalots, carrots, peas and leeks, salad vegetables and tomatoes, not forgetting novices, who have not won first prizes before, who can try a trug of vegetable or flowers, or a vegetable and a flower together - someone must be proud of something. The novice section for children this year is a cress head or tallest flower.
In Memory of Celia Clarkson
Flowers range from annuals to pom pom Dahlias, which are in memory of prize winning resident and councillor John Tubby, sweet peas, pansies, roses and fuschias, plus pots for the patio. All we need now is some sunshine and only a little bit of rain.
​
Flower Arranging
Were looking for dazling arrangements with the theme of "The Olypmics" this year, plus an arrangement of mixed garden flowers and foliage in a vase, or a corsage - for beginners, a table center piece. Have a go, you might win!

Titles in this section are - A sports event, Yorkshire view, cutest baby, Generations and Pet (digital entry) - what pictures have you taken in the past year.

Bygones
Again a nice selection this year, we're moving from pre 1980 to pre 1990's, we must all have a something tucked away at the back of a book case or in the attic - select an item of Sporting memorabilia, a musical item, Photo of a sporting event, a postcard or an item of sports kit - next stop Antiques Roadshow!
