The entries were about the same as last year and the sun shone as the competitors arrived at Bosham Village Hall early on Saturday to get their exhibits ready.

Secretary Rozie Bradley said: “Every year, the committtee wonders if anyone will enter the show competitions and if anyone will come and visit the show in the afternoon. And every year, I report that the show has been a great success, with amazing entries, and that lots of visitors have arrived in the afternoon to view the exhibits and support the various stalls. This year has been no different.

“So many congratulations to all those who won the beautiful cups. The committee would like to thank all those members who helped on the day, manning the stalls and serving tea and cakes, too numerous to mention by name.

“Special thanks has to go to Jenny and Stephanie, who work throughout the year to prepare for this day and to make it the success it is.”
