VILLAGE gardeners, cooks and craftsmen showed off their skills at the 39th annual flower and handicraft show at Cliviger Village Hall.

Entries were of a high standard and up to the level of recent years. Village Hall management committee chairman Beryl Crook, said: "We are very pleased at the support from the village.

"We have had a very good day and everything has run smoothly.''

The only disappointment was a lack of entries in some of the children's classes.

There were also cake and produce stalls which, along with donated gifts, helped to raise money for the village hall fund.
