Another super show for Middle Rasen club

This year’s show was held once more in a marquee at The Nags Head by permission of Barry and Jenny Reeves.

Exhibitors worked hard to put on another colourful event and visitors also had the opportunity to take part in the raffle, tombola and a number of games.

From vegetables and fruit to flowers and pot plants, floral art, wine, photography and cookery, there was plenty on display.

There was also a children’s section and the committee was delighted to also have exhibits from Middle Rasen Rainbows.

Prizes were presented by Charlie Partridge, managing editor of BBC Radio Lincolnshire.

“It is terrific to see these kind of events carrying on,” he said.

“Long may it continue.”

The committee thanked the sponsors and anyone who gave donations, whether in money form, prizes or cakes.

“It all went to make the day the success it was and we are very grateful to all,” said secretary May Bennett.
