SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER

In spite of the extra warm days we experienced in mid September, the early morning chill, damp grass and the golden tinges on the leaves is a reminder that autumn is nearly with us and, dare I say it, Christmas isn’t too far away!

It is time to put the garden to bed, an expression I only recently heard and I love it. It conjures up images of tidying up, getting comfortable and keeping warm. I have been busy clearing up, planting spring bulbs and planning some raised beds.

Although we have ideas for next year’s show, we can’t move forward as we don’t know what we will be able to do, but what we can do is plan our next Online Show!

In December we are holding an online Christmas Show, with all classes having a festive theme. As with the main show, classes cover a range of skills and crafts.

There is a Christmas story competition, decorated present, a colouring competition for adults and children, a decorated Christmas cake, Christmas colour and for children there is a Christmas story competition, Christmas colouring and a hanging Christmas decoration. Keep an eye on the side bar for further details and deadlines which will follow soon.

Following the popularity of the virtual pet show we are holding a photo competition called “Pets Do Christmas”. We want to see your pets in their Christmas grotto, a festive coat or their Christmas toy. NB. No animal should be put into a situation where they will be distressed!

The Bramley Show is also very excited to be supporting the Knitted Bramley Map. This began as a lockdown project and it is taking shape nicely. There will be lots more about this in the coming months but pop over to the link on the left-hand bar and take a look at a few photos. The Bramley Knits would like to thank The Parish Council for their generosity in supporting this unique community project.
