Purpose of organisation    To organise an annual family show for members (anyone who lives or has lived within the boundaries of East and West Hendred) and non-members, where exhibits in a variety of classes are displayed and judged.
         
Brief history of organisation    The show was re-launched in 1995. The Show is self funded and affiliated to the Royal Horticultural Society.
         
Where and when   Approximately 15 times a year, with more frequent meetings before the Show (usually in September). Most meetings held in the Plough.
         
Special events for Millennium year    The Show was brought forward to August 19th so that a full day's celebration could be arranged for all the family, achieved by joining forces with the Sports Club. Main events on the day were: 
  • Morning: Family Show in marquee,
  • Afternoon: It's a Knock-Out competition, Dog Show, display of vintage tractors etc.
  • Evening: Live bands - disco in marquee, bar and barbecue.
The Vale District Grant of £2250 toward the event was matched by fund raising prior to and on the day.
