Kensworth Village Hall was awash with colour on 3rd September for the annual show. Despite difficult conditions of late for gardeners, over 300 exhibits were displayed and attracted many compliments from those that crowded into the Village Hall for the presentations, which were made by Andrew Gibbons of Ashtons Estate Agents, who kindly sponsored the Show.

Other winners included Emma Dick (Best Flowers), David Foster (Best Fruit), Catherine Porter (Flower Arrangement), Jenny Dries (Cookery & Craft), Anna Prosceinska (Preserves) and Ella Rice (Children’s Categories). The award for the Best Front Garden went to Helen & Dave Gingell, whilst Best Allotment Awards were given to Graham Lee and Sharon Hutchins. We will shortly commence the planning process for the 2023 Show and welcome anyone who might be interested in joining our small but friendly Committee. Any enquiries should be addressed to David Manton (david.manton@aol.co.uk).

New dates are available for a free course for parents and carers of children aged 2-5 years, delivered from six of Central Bedfordshire Council’s children’s centres. The ‘Parenting Puzzle’ programme supports parents and carers to develop strategies to reduce the challenges and stress of parenting and prepare children for school. It’s also a great place to meet other parents and carers within the area. Parents can choose to attend either a 4-week or a 10-week version of the programme. 100 per cent of parents who have attended one of the courses said they would recommend it to other parents and carers. One parent said: “…it helped understand my children more, I wish I’d done it years ago.” Another said: “Life is changing for us in such a positive way now.”
