A good weigh-off enjoyed by the growers who were present. It was good to get the fruit on to a Calibrated Scale Sunday Morning with Stunning results.
Congratulions To Ruby and her parents who grew the record pumpkinsas a family effort well done
Thanks to the growers for coming to the weigh off and making a success of it Espically Steve Ironmonger the previous record holder who came to see his record broken and proably cheered the loudest when the scales were read, sorry you had a slow season but as they say
"WE WILL BE BACK!!!!!!!"
