Mike Hunt was our Honey Show Judge for the evening with Marcus Clark judging the mead class. The event was very informative, with lots of hints and tips being passed on by Mike. We were impressed with the number of entries of honey, wax, candles, cakes and much more. A credit to all.
Awards and trophies were handed out to class winners, with some members being extremely successful.
Thank to all who supported the evening and thank you once again to Neil and Rachel for being the hosts.

See you next year!
