President's Welcome

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to this year’s Claygate Flower and Village Show. This is truly the best weekend in the Claygate calendar where the whole community gathers, to celebrate our local community groups, schools and businesses.

The planning of each year’s show begins in September, with a review of the July show, followed by a series of meetings throughout the Spring until the tents arrive and the fun starts to happen! I would personally like to thank the thirty-strong committee of volunteers, some of whom have been members for many, many years and our ‘extras’ who help in the days before and on show day. Without their dedication and thoughtfulness about the show and what it does for the community, this would not be such a special day for Claygate.

We work hard to ensure that every aspect of Claygate is included in this one-day spectacular. From the entries in the Exhibits Marquee which cover all interests and hobbies from horticulture to photography, arts and crafts for all ages, to groups performing in the arena, the dog show,
amazing animals, classic cars, children’s races and a wonderful array of stalls.

I would urge you all to visit the Main Exhibits Marquee and marvel at the effort and number of exhibits entered, which embody the heart of this fantastic day. Perhaps you will have rushed in to see if you have won any prizes with your own entries. Enjoy your day!

Vicky Lord-Taylor.
