Growing Local Produce Show 2025

On Sunday 31 of August, we held our annual Growing Local Produce Show at the Sullom & Gunnister Hall. The
committed volunteers at the hall presented an impressive selection of food, which was greatly appreciated as the day
turned out to be quite busy despite it being 1 of 8 Sunday Teas on that day. This year, the judging of the 127 entries was
carried out by Rosemary Macklin and Anne Anderson. This year’s best exhibit was won by our own Charlotte Anderson
for her Mirrie Dancers themed flower arrangement
