THE profits from Sampford Courtenay and Honeychurch Flower, Produce and Craft Show have been split between St Andrew’s Church and the village hall.

A total of £75.70 was made plus the church took £93.40 on the refreshments and the village hall made £111 on the tombola.

A big thank you was expressed to Okehampton town councillor Christine Marsh for coming to judge the classes that could not be weighed or measured and to everyone who entered, helped and came and supported this year’s show.

Residents are being asked to start thinking of classes they would like to enter when the village returns to a full size flower show next year plus they would love to hear from anyone willing to share the load and help with the organisation and running of this long standing parish event.
