Well Cooked

Thursday’s “cook-in” at the Village Hall organised by Hazel Brookes was a great success.

The “Ready Steady Cook” fundraising event, with help from Julie of the Pampered Chef, was well attended and much enjoyed by all. A total of £464.60 was raised in aid of the Anna Lewis Brighter Future Fund at the Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Weight Training at the Village Hall?

One of the outstanding exhibits at Saturday’s GC Show was the giant marrow entered by Brian Walker.

We understand that it is now on its way, via a certain well-known teacher, to be used in the gym of a local primary school, or was it botany lessons?

Our thanks to Bev Standing for recording the transfer.

Denton (Village Hall) in Bloom

A highlight of this year’s Gardening Club Annual Show, held on 1st September, was the magnificent floral displays particularly in the flower arranging classes.

Given the “challenges” provided by the weather, the fruit and vegetable entries were also very impressive and, as usual, the domestic classes were very well supported.

Class winners were:

  • Overall Show Trophy – Ruth Cooke
  • Flower Classes (Grant Trophy) – Bridget Hill
  • Vegetable and Fruit Classes (Skinner Trophy) – Ruth Cooke
  • Domestic Classes (Carden Trophy) – Jean Whipps
  • Decorative Classes (Charnick Trophy) – Kath Hanner
  • Gentlemen's Class (Godsmark Trophy) – John Chapman
  • Children’s Class – James Mack

Further details appear on the Show History page.
