PROUDLY PRESENTS
HELMDON FLOWER AND PRODUCE
SHOW 2013
SATURDAY 17th
AUGUST 2013
TO BE HELD IN
THE READING ROOM,
HELMDON
2pm until 5pm
Helmdon Gardening Club is delighted to announce the 4th Flower and Produce Show.
Last year we were able to make good donations to 2 local charities, Katherine House
Hospice, and The Northamptonshire Air Ambulance, and have decided to support these charities again this year.
As you know, it’s a fairly informal affair, although there are some rules of course, and we hope something for everybody in the village to enjoy.
It would be great to see even more new names entering this year and some more children’s entries – so don’t be shy!
Again you will notice that we have made a few class changes and additions to keep things interesting, and a different recipe for chaps to show their cookery skills!
Anyone resident in Helmdon and Falcutt, past and present pupils of Helmdon School and
Acorns pre-school and members of the Gardening Club are able to enter.
On the day of the show we will have teas, yummy cakes and produce on sale, plus a raffle if you are feeling lucky!
So, let’s hope for good weather to get a good crop of fruit and veg, get testing those recipes, inspiring the children and please
– Support the Show!
Thank You – The Show Committee
