Astwood Bank Royal British Legion branch funds were boosted by over £100 raised at the annual flower, fruit and vegetable show last weekend.

The show was opened by County Councillor AE Johnson, who said he knew what a lot of good gardeners there were on the Ridgeway.

He spoke of the good work done by the British Legion and hoped that people would give generously.

Teas were provided by the lady helpers, who also ran bottle and elephant stalls.

The produce was auctioned by Mr A Harber, branch chairman, who thanked committee members for their help.
