The exhibitors at the recent Otterton Village Autumn Show managed to put on a good display despite the number of entries being down compared to recent years.
The low numbers were due to a combination of factors including holidays, other commitments and a difficult growing season. However, those who managed to find something to display enjoyed the experience and did the show proud.
Those people who braved the weather and came to view the display in the afternoon commented favourably on the show and many stayed to enjoy a cup of tea and a homemade cake.
The big winner on the day was David Waddington who walked away with five trophies including those for the best exhibits in the Cut Bloom, Fruit and Vegetable sections.
The full list of trophy winners is as follows: -
Hart Cup (Most points in show) David Waddington
Bennett Cup (Most Points in Cut Blooms Section) Angela Marshall
