The Village Show has a new Chairman Liz Myhill Show for 2017 was on Sunday 1st October at the JGI.
This year’s Belton & Lothingland Produce & Crafts Show was held later than usual and after weeks of very pleasant weather the Sunday /was one of the worse days this autumn when it not only poured with rain but was also very windy. The gazebo loaned by the 211 Air Cadets proved very useful affording extra space in the hall which allowed for a more spacious layout and we are grateful to the Events Committee who gave us a grant towards the cost of hire of the gazebo and the children’s trophies.
Elizabeth Myhill, the show chairperson, thanked everyone for coming, especially those who had exhibited, the friends and show committee, and all who had worked hard to make the day a success.
