The 90th Sid Valley Horticultural Show
The Horticultural Show was well attended this year with a very good number of exhibits in most categories.
Sidford WI won first prize in the Niche competition with the theme this year being "Celebrations". Our theme was celebrating the birth of a baby boy or girl. Under the leadership of Caroline Stanley and members Barbara Poole, Shirley Reeves, Glenys Shaw, Grace Essex and Barbara Lanceley they produced a high standard of craft and cookery items and a lovely flower arrangement.
WI members (Caroline Stanley, Barbara Poole and Rosemary Hurst ) also submitted craft items and were successful in winning first, third and highly commended places.
In the Art and Photography section Caroline Stanley and Sue Cox won third and first place respectively for a water colour painting of a flower and a photograph of views around Sidmouth.

The WI ladies provided refreshments in the Social Hall. The number and variety of cakes baked by members were very well received and members did a great job to serve customers, clear tables and to wash up. As usual it was a great team effort and appreciated by everyone
