Scrooby Show 2009 Organising Committee

Scrooby Garden Club have passed responsibility for Scrooby Village Show to a seperate committee, and made available £250 of seed funding to the new committee. It is to hoped that the close relationship between the Gardening Club and the Village Show continues.

Ann Watkins and Maureen Westhead have stepped-down from the committee. Chris Spence will remain on the committee, with the intention of keeping the vegetable, fruit and flower competition up to the high standard achieved in previous years. Graham Robbins will become secretary.

The first committee meeting will be held on Thursday 22 January 2009. Anyone is welcome to join the committee.

The 2009 Village Show will be held on Saturday 5 September 2009 on the Croft and in the Village Hall.
