News Howden Horticultural Show
Howden Working Men's Club members held their Annual Horticultural Show on Sunday, August 12, when some 300 entries were received.
Robin and Ann Smith would like to thank all who helped on the day, donated raffle prizes and brought entries, making the show another great success. The recent bad weather spoilt many gardens but this did not deter our gardeners from putting on a good show of their produce.
