THE first Donyatt Flower and Vegetable Show since 2019 took place on Sunday (August 21).

The two previous shows had been held virtually due to the pandemic.

The event was organised by a new team as several committee members had stepped back due to circumstances.

Although entries were slightly down on previous years, organisers were happy with the numbers considering the weather, Covid and the cost of living crisis.

Local businesses generously donated raffle prizes donations.

The biggest contest of the day was the men-only class to make a lemon drizzle cake.

Several villagers battled it out, with George Busby coming out on top and winning the overall Best In Show award too.

The overall profit for the show was just over £200, which will be given to the Donyatt Recreation area.
