Essential Feature Judge Wanted… if you dare! No sooner was the 2014 Lymm Produce Show over than we started planning the next one. Thank you to everyone that gave us some feedback. If you have some ideas about what we should do next year, let us know at orchard@ oughtrington.co.uk So we thought …let’s have a chilli competition. What we haven’t decided is whether to have a chilli tasting competition too. So if you know about chillies and think you can judge them please get in touch. If you enjoyed the show you can start planning your entry for next year. Whilst we do change some of the categories you can bank on us having beans & tomatoes classes. However you can bank on us having ‘wild card’ class. Next year we are going to have lemon drizzle as the standard cake class, but for those who want to do their own thing there will still be the favourite bake to challenge the judges. STOP PRESS….Produce Show next year will be on Sunday 6th September 2015. But before we get ahead of ourselves let’s celebrate this year’s success. The weather was definitely on the side of the 6th Produce Show at Oughtrington Community Centre. The locals grew, baked and turned up to enter and see produce in Oughtrington on Sunday 7thSeptember. In the bread category the winners are sharing the Lymm & District Round Table Bakers Shield as the judge couldn’t choose between two very different breads - a batch and a fig & walnut loaf - that beat last year’s winner into 3rd place. Donald Reid managed to keep his Lymm & District Round Table Brewer Shield for his home brew beer, winning both 1st and 2nd in that category. continued on page 42 40 Nine issues in Culcheth Lymm Great Sankey & Penketh Chapelford Stockton Heath & Appleton Thewlwall, Grappenhall & Latchford Birchwood Lowton & Golborne Newton-le-Willows
