“The entries were all up to the usual high standard.”
Maureen took home several prizes herself, including the Alan Cave Cup for her mixed vase of garden flowers, judged the most outstanding exhibit in the flower section.
Morton Woodburn, 15, the youngest member of the association, was entering for the first time and won a salver for his onions.
Maureen said: “He was absolutely over the moon, he was ecstatic.”

During the afternoon, the tea ladies were kept busy making cream teas and the Pimm’s stall sold out quite quickly, Maureen said.
She added: “We would like to say a big thank you to all the businesses in Findon and Findon Valley because they donated the prizes for the raffle, which was really very good this year.”
Cup winners were Morton Woodburn, Graham Gostick, Betty Lewis, Maureen Bowen, Norman Allcorn, Sue Line, Shirley Hobden, Jill Light, Tess McCormick, Monica Eastabrook, Susan Bell, Brenda Cox, Pam Howard, Evelyn Stanford and Pauline Holderness.
