Happy New Year, everyone, from your VPA Committee! Hope you had a great Christmas and that 2020 will be a good year. And what better way to start it than to get ready for our first event of the year? The VPA Winter Show 2020 is coming up, on Saturday 8 February 2020.

The show programmes have been printed and distributed, so you should have your printed copy by now. But if you can’t put your hands on yours, no matter: you can download your own copy, and the entry form, from the Winter Show page of our website. The Winter Show page has a lot of useful information about the show, including an online entry form that you can use multiple times for different family members. The deadline for entries is 8:00pm on Wednesday 5 February 2020.

The classes in this year’s Winter Show as usual reflect the season and give you the chance to showcase your horticultural, culinary, floral, artistic and handicraft talents. And there are plenty of classes for children and young people, including the ever popular classes for household and garden pets.

Please help to make this show a great start to the gardening year. We look forward to receiving your entries, and to seeing you at the Winter Show 2020 in Little Gaddesden Village Hall on the day!
