Bexhill Horticultural Society

held their summer show last Saturday and, despite entries to the event being down on previous years, due to the poor summer weather, Chairman Margaret Tate said: " The entries that we have had are of very high quality."

The charity that will benefit this year from the societies donation is the Brownbread horse rescue in Ashburnham.
