Rupert Ogbourne used to have a big pot with this huge maidenhair fern. Jean also remembered Mrs Horton, 'She always used to do the raffles for years. Everybody knew her. Even people corning to the Show from out of the village looked for Mrs Horton to buy their raffle tickets. She loved it, absolutely adored it.' By the 1970's the show was being held at the Church Meadow where it has remained ever since. The Horticultural Show, Fancy Dress, Horse Show, Gymkhana, Dog Show, Cookery, Children's classes, Crafts and of course the Tug-of-War have continued to be well supported, and though the Carnival was abandoned for a while, it was revived in a smaller more manageable format for the millenium and continues to this day. |
