On the 13th of September we held our annual Summer Flower Show. It all started so well with the Flecknoe Events Committee setting up 3 marquees for us

Sadly, that night we had some really high winds and the scene in the morning was not good

However, the show must go on and with some hard work and only 1 fixing needing replacing, later that day all was well again

Then it was the turn of the Broadwell Flower Show Committee to put up our marquees, a finely tuned team in action

And before you knew it the show was up and running. We are always grateful to our local artisan craft and other stall holders for supporting the event with some wonderful stalls

We also had some of our local farmers and contractors bring along a variety of machinery

In the middle of the afternoon we were presented with a fantastic rainbow.

Later in the afternoon Martin, the chairman of the show committee, auctioned off the entries to the show. Cakes, vegetables, fruit and flowers were all sold and at the end of the auction nearly £160 had been raised.
