Natland & Oxenholme Flower Show 08

The resurrection of the Flower Show last year proved to be a success and provided much pleasure both to those who contributed and to those who attended. The Village Hall Committee has therefore decided to continue with this event and invites everyone to "have a go" and contribute to making 19th July 2008 a successful community occasion once again.

There will be a new section for Handicrafts and a few other minor changes, but the hope is that there will be something for everyone in which to share and enjoy.

Saturday 19th July 2008, 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. Natland Village Hall
Entrance fee 50p. Accompanied Children free.
All proceeds to Village Hall funds.
