Ilmington

The show was opened by the May Queen, Ellie Broomfield, and she was led in by the Shirley Pipers Band. The children enjoyed the climbing wall, and the Robin Hood/King Arthur puppet show, and there were bouncy castles, dog agility, and the birds of prey demonstration by the Hawkeye Falconry Display team.

The raffle and other activities run by the PTA of the school raised £1,150 and the prizewinners were Ben Homans (a holiday in Wales), R Morris (bicycle), Clare Edmunds (round of golf), and many others.

The football tournament was won by Ilmington Revolution FC.

There was once again a record number of entries for the flower show, and everyone said that it was the best there had ever been.
