The Kettleburgh VPA "No Show 2020"

We are unable to have the show in its usual fortmat this year but thought we should do something (the "No Show 2020") to record gardening/activities during lockdown. It's not supposed to be particularly serious and there are no prizes.

Full details can be found on this Kettleburgh VPA "No Show 2020" poster.

 

Flower display entriesThe Kettleburgh Flower and Produce Show has been held in the village hall for over 60 years.  It is run by a group of volunteers from both Brandeston and Kettleburgh known as the Kettleburgh Village Produce Association and we are affiliated to the Suffolk Horticultural and Produce Association (SHAPA) who provide our insurance cover and judges for a fee.  We hope to encourage gardening and domestic skills within the locality, friendly rivalry between contestants, to cover our costs and to produce a small surplus to cushion us in a “bad year”.

Shows are currently held on the first Saturday in September, with sections for vegetables, flowers, fruit, cookery, preserves, wine, photographs and children’s classes.  We have recently added some craft classes in consultation with the Kettleburgh Craft Club.  Classes are open to all wherever they live although some cups and trophies (which have been given over the years by local people or in memory of others) are only awarded to Kettleburgh residents.

During the afternoon of the show there are teas, a raffle, prize giving and an auction of produce.

We are always keen to welcome new competitors – particularly children and would welcome help with the organisation and running of the show.  If you’d like to know more or would like advice about how to prepare and enter items please do get in touch with me, it’s great fun and we have a super band of gardeners willing to share their knowledge.
