Events – THREADS’ Stall at the Great Comberton Flower Show
Other projects:
The 27th August, a perfect summer’s day, saw members of Threads gathering at Great Comberton to enjoy the village’s Flower Show and to run a stall selling items made by members to raise money for the group.
This was the 76th time that this annual event had taken place, with this year’s theme being “The Seaside”. The programme of events included fancy dress competitions, a novelty dog show and an egg throwing competition to name but a few. A large marquee exhibited crafts, fruit and vegetables, cookery and wines etc. entered for various classes of competition. Outside there were games for the children to play, refreshments, stalls for the purchase of home-made produce, a grand raffle, book stall etc. and, of course, our Threads’ stall.
Members had been busy both at home and during meetings producing a whole variety of items for sale, ranging from brooches to cards, toys to bags. This was a new venture for the group and those viewing the work were appreciative of the effort that had been put into making this lovely display. It was also the first time that our new banner had been displayed.
There was a lovely atmosphere with people really enjoying themselves at this village event. Thanks to all who made it possible and we hope that we will be invited back next year.
