Judging Day, 12th July 2010

Following weeks of hot, sunny weather, judging day dawned with rain falling. However, this didn't last too long and by the time the judges, Robin Russell and Angela Pendleton, arrived the rain had stopped. They were met by the Mayor Cllr Andrea Morgan and District Councillor Mike Morgan as well as members of the Committee. Robin & Angela were taken on a tour of the Town and met members of the Committee and the public. The Cemetery Chapel had been filled with flowers. (The Chapel will be open on Sunday from 2-4pm if you want to see the flowers.) At the Primary School members of the 'Big Eco Garden Club' showed off their vegetables grown in raised beds. The tour finished at the Old Churchyard where the Town flags were flying and a lot of people were there to welcome the judges. Robin and Angela judged the 'Unusual container' competition. The containers included a coffee maker, a Tesco shopping bag, a flower bed, a shoe and a bag. We then adjourned to the Tudor House Museum for a buffet supplied by local hostelries - and it was superb! Thank you to everyone who helped prepare for judging and who took part on the day - we couldn't have done it without you.
