AT last the Curdridge Country Show has had some good luck.
The sun shone on Saturday after the weather washed out the event last year and hit preparations in 2011.
Between 6,000 and 7,000 people attended the traditional show at Reading Room Lane, Curdridge, near Hedge End. They enjoyed the horticultural tent, morris dancing, falcon displays, vintage car parade and dog show. A new feature this year was a music stage with local acts Jerry Williams, the Dogwood Flowers, Winters Hill and Chicago 9.
Elaine Flower, who chairs the show committee, said: “This year was just so wonderful. We had a complete week of good weather, so it was much more relaxed.
“There are only 1,200 villagers and we had 200 volunteers. It is a community event and brings together an awful lot of people to do something for charity.”
Proceeds will go to the Reading Room, Curdridge’s village hall.
