Purleigh and District Gardeners Society is hosting its much-awaited annual horticultural show on Saturday August 25.

Chairman Lawrence Cooper said: "All help with erecting the stands and tents on the Friday, and dismantling after the show on Saturday, will be gratefully accepted."

If you can lend a hand please call him on 01245 223227.

The show will include displays of flowers, vegetables, handicrafts, cookery and children's classes.

Sure to be well supported, it is well worth a visit, especially for the quality of the home-made refreshments.

The show opens at 2pm with prize giving, by Brian Evans, at 4.30pm
