Spring Show 2025

Saturday 15 March 2025

This year's Spring Show was a great success with over 250 entries from 77 exhibitors. We also borrowed a set of dioramas from Emmanual Middle School where children had made a scene from a book inside a shoebox. Outside the Memorial Hall, we displayed 11 fantastic scarecrows made as character from books. All the visitors thought these were amazing and certainly created a buzz!

We saw a total footfall of 171visitors to the show, and even more appreciated the scarecrows outside!
