Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th September

The show was held at the Garstang Country Hotel just 10 miles north of Preston. Emma and Pauline bundled all the craft items off and deposited them on the Sunday and the process was repeated on Tuesday by Elaine for all the fresh foods, cakes and bakes.
It was a first visit to a show for me so I didn’t know quite what to expect. Needless to say it was chocker full of ladies and no sooner had I got there I bumped onto a few of my fellow Scarlets which was lovely. I think it’s fair to say we had a record number of entries into the show this year too which of course is fantastic. We all know the judging can be quite harsh – enter at your own peril as it’s not recommended for any sensitive souls who may take their comments to heart. There was such an array of items – jams (of course!) cakes, knitted or crocheted jumpers, sugar craft, knitted hedgehogs, handmade jewellery, decorated hats, rag dolls, wreaths, photos, sketches and horticulture. I managed to take some photos (just before my phone conveniently ran out of battery!) Hope you enjoy them.
