HUTTONS Ambo Flower and Produce show celebrated its diamond anniversary at the weekend.

The show, which was set up in 1954,saw high entries, particularly in the children's classes.

Committee member Liz Ellis, said thanks went to all those involved.

"Particular thanks to Howard and Tara Wallis who are standing down from the committee and welcome to Ruth are Neil Hannah who are joining us for 2015," she added.

"A huge thank you to Denise andNoel Savage who have organised their final village show raffle after decades of great service and now retire to enjoy the show as spectators for many years to come we hope."

Liz said the Rector Taff Morgan presented the prizes and Andy Dorman the role of MC.

We are particularly lucky to have some exceptionally creative younger members of the community and the vegetable people and miniature gardens were particularly special this year," she added "Teas were tasty and gorgeous as ever – provided by Sarah Clark and her team and it was a really great day. Thanks to everyone who entered, attended, organised and supported the event."

Liz said the show had been followed by a Hoe Down Evening with line dancing led by Sarah Swindells.

"It was a fantastic night and everyone really enjoyed the opportunity to socialise even if the dancing wasn’t their thing," she added.

Thank you to everyone who supported and attended the evening.
