Hide AdShow secretary Judy Seers said: “As always, the cookery section was very popular, the men once again competing fiercely but not strong enough this time to beat Bridget Reid’s delicious and also beautifully-decorated carrot cake.
“We had lots of visitors in the afternoon enjoying tea and homemade cakes as they wandered round the exhibits and the raffle after prizegiving was a great success.
“Everyone had a very lovely day.”
The horticultural society’s summer show will be held at Sutton Village Hall on Sunday, August 14.
Sutton Village Hall will also be hosting a plant sale on Sunday, May 1, and the Village Hall Table-Top Sale on Saturday, May 7.
