600 entries as young skills impress at Cury Village Hall Show: PICTURES

Philip Greet, chairman of the hall, thanked the new secretary Jeanette Dodd and vice chairman Paul Cook, together with everyone who helped to make the show such |a success.

He then introduced Justin Leigh from BBC Spotlight who presented the prizes.

Justin said he was overwhelmed by the number and high standard of all the exhibits and thankful that he was not a judge, having to choose.

He thought it was great that all ages were catered for as this helped to bring the community together.

There were several new faces to Cury Show this year, besides the regulars who have exhibited for a number of years. This was described as encouraging for the show organising team.
