"The Best Show I've Seen This Year"
When one of the judges says that your show was the best they’ve seen this year, you know that all that hard work over the last twelve months - growing, crafting, cooking, sewing - was worth all the effort. We were thrilled to see so many people bringing in their entries, not just from Eynsford but also from Farningham and beyond. The quality, the variety, the skills, and the sheer volume of entries were commented on favourably by all of our judges. So, thank you not just to the EGC and all their wonderful helpers for planning, setting up and running the show, but also to everyone who joined us to make it such a fantastic event. Whether you entered one or one hundred entries, or whether you came just for the spectacle, or for the fizz, tea, and cakes - every single person made this a special day!
Whilst everyone is commended for joining in, there were some incredible stand-out entries that won our coveted top awards. Congratulations!

Our next show is the Winter Show on Saturday 19th November which includes a very brief AGM. Lighter on the flower and produce front - and mainly an excuse to socialise and enjoy mince pies - this event will feature stalls selling art and craft items, and there will be tables with crafty activities for everyone to have a go at. Eynsford in Bloom will also be joining us to present their annual awards to celebrate the efforts of those who help to make Eynsford such a lovely place to live and work.
