57th ANNUAL FLOWER & VEGETABLE SHOW - SUNDAY 31st AUGUST 2025
Sutton Ex-Servicemen’s Club will hold its 57th Annual Flower & Vegetable Show on Sunday 31st August 2025.
The Show will again take place with the kind permission of The Barber Family, in a large marquee on Spooners Flats, Hollin Lane, Sutton.
I hope the weather is kind to you in the time leading up to the Show and your growing season has started well considering that this year’s Spring was the warmest on record and the driest for more than 50 years.
I’m sure the majority of you will now be familiar with the Schedule.
It is more or less the same as in previous years with just a few minor changes with the WI classes again being open to members of any of the local WI’s.
After a greatly successful first few years we will again be staging the ever popular and keenly contested “World Lemon Cheese Championship” and to remember Nicky Whittaker we have a new trophy to be awarded to a class for “woolwork” something that Nicky loved so much.
Special thanks must again go to our friends at Anthony Collins Solicitors for their wonderful, continued support and to new sponsors GEC Home Improvements. Please have a chat with them in the marquee on Show Day.
The scarecrow competition will again take place, please spread the word and try to have a go. This year, like previous years, will be an open competition so you can create a “crow” to resemble whatever you want & you’ll find full details later in the schedule.
Please don’t forget the prize money will be paid out on the day of the Show, it certainly helps wrap the show formalities up quickly and so if you are fortunate enough to win a prize, please see the show officials on the day.
The Show really is a friendly village event and is open to everyone so please try and take part. Let’s hope the sun shines, the village turns out and we have a wonderful day.
The marquee will be open to the public no later than 2:30pm - it takes us until then to finish the judging and write out the certificates for all 137 classes.
