Launcells Parish Council

The Launcells Horticultural Show took place on Saturday 17th August and despite the very unseasonal spring and summer, the growers and makers of the Parish yet again produced a lovely display. 

There was an excellent selection of vegetables and a lovely display of cakes and biscuits together with flowers, preserves, crafts and photographs. 

Many thanks to the five Parish Councillors who each made 4 fruit buns. The winner was Brian Pollard.

It was lovely to see some new exhibitors as well as some who had not entered the show for a while. We hope they enjoyed the day and that they will join us again next year.

Many thanks to all those who took part, the organisers, the volunteers who helped set up and clear away, the judges, the helpers in the kitchen, to Fiona Hargreaves for presenting the prizes and to everyone who came along for a very sociable afternoon.

Let’s hope the weather is kinder to us next year and that perhaps a few more people can enter the 2025 show, especially all the children in the Parish.
