The 2024 Spring Show was held on Saturday 13th April in the Baptist Church Hall, Seer Green.
The hall was a riot of spring colour with beautiful flowers, bulbs and plants on display along with children’s art, home-cooked items and craft creations.
Representatives from other local societies displayed their work and activities and were on hand to answer any questions. One of the highlights of the Spring Show was the Tea Bar tea with delicious home-made cakes.
