Weather update & location

Picture
09/08/2019: Weather/show update. We've re-evaluated the site plans. The marquee and other key elements of our village show are securely set up in a sheltered spot and the team is busy inside them setting up the display tables for the talented individuals showing. Stallholders and other contributors to the show have been contacted with advice and recommendations. Certainly it is our hope that we can still run our village show, albeit not quite the one we had envisaged a week or two ago!

Those who've submitted entries - please bring them along to set up as per the time given on the schedule.

At present we are still working towards an enjoyable afternoon from noon; like yourselves we will be monitoring the weather with everyone's safety most paramount in our thoughts and plans. Thank you for your patience, support and kind comments. Certainly this year's show, our 76th, has turned out to be the predictable unpredictable...

The raffle

Picture
A very important ask. Please, if you haven't already done so, help support our village show by buying a raffle ticket or few when you pass through the show, at just £1 each. Not only do you stand the chance of winning one of the most magnificent prizes but you'll be helping to continue to secure the show again for next year. Thank you.

Car boot sale

Having a clear out? The Happy Hub will be organising a car boot sale alongside the show, on the recreation ground in Cholsey. For bookings/set-up information, contact Geraldine Kelly on 01491 652910 or via email happyhubcarboot@gmail.com.
