QUIZ RAISES £466
The Stirrup Cup quiz on Sunday March 26 raised £466 - thanks to all those who paid for tables and donated raffle prizes, and thanks, too, to Julian and the team at the pub, who did a great job hosting us.
Pictured above - the victorious team, The Wells Angels (who also won the Flower Show quiz proper last summer - see below).
The Flower Show generally makes no money - it essentially pays for itself (or doesn't), and in particular for the hire of the marquee. This money will help address the annual shortfall.
Last year's Flower Show was a tremendous success, but we are looking for ways to make the 2023 event even better.
Please email us with any ideas, suggestions or, dare we say it, complaints.
In 2022 we were short on table sponsorships, but up on the auction of produce and raffle - on which note, see below for the winning ticket numbers and the associated prizes (with grateful thanks to the donors):

RAFFLE WINNERS
BISLEY QUIZ WINNERS
It's been three or four years since a Bisley team won the annual post Flower Show inter-village quiz, but we're pleased to announce that the 2022 victors were Wells Angels!
A great night was had by all - and thanks to those who stayed behind to help with the clear-up.

Bisley's annual Flower Show was first held in 1863, and the tradition continues to this day.
The event takes place from 2-4pm on the Saturday of August Bank Holiday weekend, and hundreds of people from far and wide attend the show and the associated fête.
There are usually more than five hundred exhibits, including flower arrangements, vegetables and baking, jams and chutneys, and items in fun categories aimed at children.
Between the Flower Show and the fête there are also a beer tent, a Pimms bar, food stalls, a dog show, a second-hand book stall, and lots of other entertaining things going on.
Much of the produce is auctioned off at the end of the festival.
