EARBY and District Gardeners held its 74th Horticultural Show in the New Road Community Centre on Saturday.

David Hartley, one of the show organisers, said: "This was successful though an early season meant some exhibits had “gone over” before the date of the show. Nevertheless there were a reasonable number of high quality exhibits and everyone enjoyed the social interaction over soup and sandwiches."

The awards for the Best Allotments were as follows:

Sam Lawson Shield for Best Allotment went to John and Charlotte Swindells

Reserve Best Allotment - Craig Nutter

Best Newcomer - Anthony Grant

Best Garden Allotment - Claire Inman and Alison Laycock
