Saturday 28^th July 2007 dawned fair, and heralded not only a fine day weather wise, but a very fine day for all who had worked so hard to bring the 2^nd Llancarfan Village Show to fruition.

After weeks of preparation the marquee, erected adjacent to the hall, had, on Friday evening, opened to accept exhibits, and by 10.30am on Saturday morning, both the hall and marquee were a sight to behold.   Despite the inclement and unseasonable weather in the ‘run up’ to the show, the majority of the 53 classes were well entered, and it was a credit to the organisers, that their choice of classes in the finely produce schedule, resulted in a high standard of entries.

These were the sentiments of the judges, who specifically commented on the obvious enthusiasm of exhibitors, and their efforts in the presentation of their entries.   This was a great incentive to our organisers, as the majority of the judges, who so kindly gave their time, have adjudicated at show at county level, and certainly ‘know their onions’!

Having dealt with the application of the ‘prize stickers’, our judges were entertained at the School Hall, and at 2.30pm the doors opened at the hall, where not only could exhibitors and friends discover the fate of their entries, but enjoy refreshments and a convivial afternoon.

Following the success of the 2006 show, trophies, this year, were awarded to ‘Best in Show Overall’ in both the adult and junior sections.   Mr Alan Taylor was the delighted recipient of the adult trophy, while Megan Weber was a worthy winner of the junior prize.

BBC television, has, in the past year, seen fit to transmit a series of programmes on the subject of village shows.   What a pleasure it is to know, and be part of a ‘real life’ and very successful village show, which now looks forward to it’s third event, and for many more in years to come.
