Comments on the 2024 Hutchinson Show
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Kerry Murphy and George England for their exceptional judging.
Regrettably, two exhibitors were unable to attend due to health concerns. We wish them both a speedy recovery.
A special thanks to all exhibitors for their invaluable assistance throughout the day. We especially appreciate the two lovely ladies who dedicated many hours to ticket writing – well done!
Our appreciation also goes to the president and his lovely wife, Sharon, for organizing a delightful barbecue. Additionally, we are grateful to everyone who helped with the packing up.
It was wonderful to see our new members enjoying the show. We wish them all the best in our special hobby and encourage everyone to make them feel welcome wherever we meet them. A warm welcome to Graham and Min Wilson from Balaklava!
