With a lovely selection in the homefare classes, Anne Dyball was the winner of the Spence cup, and with three firsts Georgina Whorlow won the Spiers trophy in the floral art section.

Nuala and Tommy won joint first prize for their lovely chocolate chip cookies in the children’s class.

After the presentation of the awards, visitors took part in the auctioning of some of the produce.
