THE annual Burley Show took place at the Queen’s Hall in Burley-in-Wharfedale on August Bank Holiday Monday and the organisers, Burley Gardeners’ Association, were pleased to find that this year’s extreme weather hadn’t affected the high standard of entries from talented local gardeners.

This year’s Show saw the introduction of a new cup, The Secretary’s Novice Cup for a first-time exhibitor in a fruit, vegetable or flower class, and this was won by J. Waterworth.

Hundreds of people came to the Show in the afternoon to look at the exhibits and visit the stalls from local businesses and organisations including Burley Art Club, Wharfedale Honey and Preserves, Fine Design cards and gifts, Burley in Wharfedale Library, Ian Middleton, a local artist who has been commissioned to create a painting of the village and prizewinning grower David Allison.

Trophies and prizes were presented by Duncan Ault, Chairman of Burley Community Trust. The show concluded with an auction of produce kindly donated by the exhibitors.
