Produce Show

Yesterday was the annual MAGA Produce Show.

As has been previously stated, I entered my Chutney, Jam (aka Compote) and Courgette Cake. Unfortunately I didn't win anything.

The day started out early for us volunteers to make sure everything was set up. We put up a smaller marquee along side our big marquee on a vacant plot.

The setup took us a couple of hours to do.

The small marquee was where we dodged the odd shower and eventually sat and ate cakes and drunk tea whilst the judging was underway.

The actual layout inside the big marquee gave us quite a bit of space to playwith. Something we needed as there were a few BIG items... such as a marrow that was nearly 6ft long.

And I managed to give away a whole load of spare courgettes.

But at the end of the day, much fun was had by all. It just goes to show that if you commit to the community spirit then being on an allotment is a very worthwhile cause. Friends and food. What more do you need?
