A huge thank you to everyone who helped to make Apple Day 2024 such a success. The team at the Hunters Lodge Inn led by Grahame and Sue Nutt hosted a wonderful community event and organised a delicious hog roast and kebab-e-q. The apple pressing relied on a rather smaller harvest this year, but nevertheless a lot of juice was made! The craft, book, bottle, tea and cake and raffle stalls all proved popular, whilst the face painting and coconut shy were a real hit with the youngsters! Marilyn Fry was crowned “Apple Pie Champion” with her exemplary apple pie, competing in a more crowded field than previous years. Performances were given by the Bow Bells of Cornworthy, the Willow Green Clog Dancers and the Dilly Boys band, all of whom contributed to the convivial atmosphere.
The event raised £1,204.50 for the Village Hall. The Committee is extremely grateful to the Hunters Lodge Inn and to everyone else involved for their support.
