No apology from former Littlehampton mayor for ‘rubbishing’ crops

Mrs Bowyer was accused of stating that the exhibits were “a load of rubbish” by show manager Alan Humphrey. Demanding an apology, he claimed she had made the comment at a community resources meeting earlier in June.

“We, the Town Show volunteers, find this statement inaccurate and disrespectful to the people who grew and staged these exhibits that were of excellent quality, and certainly would take prizes at some of the other shows in the area,” Mr Humphrey said during the public forum.
