Metheringham Veg & Flower Show

On Monday 3 September the Star and Garter was packed to the rafters for the annual show. An excellent effort was made by all contributors and special thanks go out to Mr & Mrs Mo Mitchell, Maggie & Lynn, Jean & Bert Wood, Janet Brown and her mum and to Colin Doughty for their contributions to a successful event. Mo Mitchell, in his usual exuberant style, was the auctioneer and things got so serious that he even auctioned the shirt off his back, allegedly not a pretty sight!.
Monies raised totalled £675.00 which, this year, was donated to the Metheringham Village Hall, to help with the costly upkeep of this important village amenity.
Below is a list of the category placings - please note there is an on-going "stewards enquiry" into the runners-up position for the Victoria Sponge - with an allegation that it was not made by the said winner but by the proprietor of Sweet and Savoury, Caroline Rd!!!!!
