Early in September the 83rd Annual Village Show<\/strong> took place at Packington Memorial Hall, with another fantastic turnout from residents and visitors from neighbouring villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the weather of the unusually hot summer this year meant fewer vegetable entries, the show still offered a vibrant display of flowers and a strong selection of produce. The junior classes were a real highlight, with imaginative creations and beautifully presented entries. The home baking tables were filled with perfectly risen Victoria sponges, tangy lemon drizzle cakes, flapjacks, scones and more, while the preserves, pickles and handcrafted items also proved popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the judging was complete, visitors were welcomed back in to admire the exhibits. Pizzas from Biddulph\u2019s Pizzeria were a hit, while the bar kept drinks flowing throughout the evening. The raffle saw some brilliant prizes up for grabs, generously donated by local businesses and supporters. Lucky winners walked away with treats and vouchers from Hill Farm, Tesco, Woodlander, W Taylor Butchers and The Garden Warehouse, as well as a Villair holiday voucher, a three-month membership from Bluestone Fitness, and two handcrafted bird-boxes – to name just a few!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trophies, Cups and Medals were then presented to entrants winning the most points or best in class in certain categories. Laura Bryant collected the Baking of Excellence Medal<\/strong> and Harriet Edwards received the PHS Junior Medal<\/strong> for the most meritorious entry in the junior categories. The coveted RHS Banksian Medal<\/strong>, for most points in the vegetable, flowers and fruit sections, was awarded to Louise Livesey <\/strong>for the third year running. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As always, the event culminated in the much anticipated auction of the exhibits. Friendly competition meant baskets of produce, flowers and baked goods – along with the winning sausage rolls, Victoria Sponge and Dundee cake – sparked some lively rounds of bidding, with the Dundee cake selling for \u00a380 alone. A Spa Day generously donated by Champneys Springs was also added to the auction and sold for \u00a365.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chairperson, Laura Bryant, commented:<\/strong> \u201cI would like to thank everybody who exhibited, attended, viewed, bought raffle tickets and bid in the auction that made the 83rd Packington Village Show such a success. Your generosity and enthusiasm mean<\/em> we can continue to support a number of our local village groups and clubs, as well as contributing to the continued financial stability of local charities such as Rainbows children\u2019s hospice and Bright Hope. It<\/em> has been such a pleasure to see the hall filled with community spirit, laughter and friendship. I\u2019m so grateful to the committee, our volunteers and our generous sponsors, we couldn\u2019t do it without you. I look forward to continuing this village tradition together for many more shows in the years ahead.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
