Flower and vegetables - selection of entries and winners

The 38th annual Wistaston Flower and Produce Show took place at St Mary’s Church Hall on Church Lane in Wistaston, writes Jonathan White.

St Mary’s Church Hall was filled with stunning floral arrangements and there were high standards throughout the flower and vegetables classes.

It meant the judges had to make difficult decisions when awarding certificates and trophies.

The event, which was cancelled last year due to the pandemic, is run by Wistaston Community Council, and complied with the current government Covid regulations.

Dane Chaplow, Chairman, Wistaston Community Council, said: “I was extremely pleased how the first event after lockdown went.

“The Wistaston Community Council worked hard to put on a low key first event in 2021 and once again the team succeeded in turning a competition into a fun event.

“My thanks to Debra and Gwyneth and to the Church Hall team in trusting us to work within the current guidelines.

“Many thanks to our local people for their excellent entry(s). We hope in 2022 to be back to a normal event as before.”

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
