ALBOURNE VILLAGE SHOW: 12TH SEPTEMBER, 2009 12.30-4.30pm
The Albourne Flower Show, held for the first time last year, was a great success and there is every reason to believe that this year’s show will be even more popular. It is bigger and better, having extended hours and 100 classes, and there are several other new attractions. Hence the change of name to the Albourne Village Show even though the two grand marquees housing the exhibits will still be the focus of the show.
As well as all the classes of fruit, veg, preserves, cakes, crafts and much more, there will be a teas in the Village Hall, a barbecue, and a beer tent featuring local ales. In addition, several local organisations will be having stalls on the day and this year there will be a games tent primarily for children but all are welcome to fish for a duck, play your cards right or have a go at the hoopla - and more. Due to popular request there will be a craft tent housing several different types of craft stalls for you to see and buy and don’t forget the ever popular auction of produce at the end of the show.
New for this year and something that we hope will be a star attraction is the apple pressing. Please bring along your surplus apples and for a small fee we will turn them into juice! We also hope to have apples and some freshly pressed juice to sell at the show.
As you can see, there will be lots to see and do so please come along and support us. Success depends on your participation. We also need your entries so get planning, planting and making without delay.
REMEMBER – 12.30 – 4.30pm, 12th SEPTEMBER, AT ALBOURNE VILLAGE HALL AND ON THE GREEN. PARKING IS AVAILABLE NEAR TO THE HALL.
