Earlier this week, on Bank Holiday Monday, we went along to the 3rd Annual Flower and Vegetable Show which was held at Blackhall Community Centre (or better known to some of us as Blackhall Welfare Hall). We are proud to be associated with this event which has continuously helped to promote both Blackhall as a village and our Community Centre as a high quality venue for events such as this.
We helped to finance the very first show at the venue back in 2013 and we are delighted to have been able to find funding for it every year since. The number of people attending the show, either as exhibitors or as visitors, has increased each year and this year was particularly well attended despite the dull and damp bank holiday weather.
The event has rapidly become one of the most prestigious of its type in the region and has even attracted entries from across the country. On top of that the variety and quality of the produce shown has improved each year and this year was certainly no exception.
We would like to take the opportunity to show our gratitude to the other event funders, including a healthy number of local businesses, but special thanks must go to the event organiser John Peace who continues to put his heart and soul into everything he does year on year.
