Dalton and Gayles Village Show celebrates country life

A QUIRK of fate meant that Dalton and Gayles Village Show had exactly the same number of entries this year as last – 440.

Show secretary Martyn Dean described the number as “really good”, adding that better weather this year had ensured an enjoyable day.

“Last year was a washout and we were chasing around the marquee in the wind,” he smiled. “This year the weather has been much kinder.”
The duck races in the beck were well supported with the children using the excuse to put on wellies and paddle with the ducks. Pam Sheard’s mosaic was judged the best exhibit in the show this year.

As well the usual baking, produce, flowers, art, wine, photography and children’s classes, there were fun and games for the youngsters including a Punch and Judy Show and sports.
Dalton and Gayles Show began when a children’s sports day was organised for the Queen’s silver jubilee in 1977.
