ISLAND LIFE - PREVIEW

Authentic
country show
Despite some disappointingly
unseasonal weather on the Saturday, this
year’s show at Wolverton Manor proved
a huge success. Wolverton has all the
appeal of a truly local country show, with
non-stop entertainment for children
that included pony rides, canoe rides, a
bouncy castle and traditional games. For
the adults, there was plenty of interest
in the craft and local produce areas, with
live demonstrations of traditional skills,
and food and drink sampling. TV actor
Geoffrey Hughes kindly carried out the
auction for a garden bench which raised
£750 for the Wessex Cancer Appeal.

The Canoe Lake proved very popular with both adults and children.
