North East Derbyshire DA
Our 42nd DA show was held on Sunday 5th September. The number of exhibitors and exhibits were slightly down compared to our last two shows.
Hopefully now we’re coming out
of lockdown and the public starting
to grow in confidence to meeting in groups again, then exhibitors and exhibits should increase to what
we usually get. The quality of the exhibits was exceptional, and again considering the uncertainty that’s surrounded the growing season it came as a pleasant surprise that the show benches were well adorned with top quality vegetables. NEDDA would also like to pass on their thanks & appreciation to all 3 judges (Malcolm Evans FNVS, David Allison FNVS
& David Thornton FNVS) for their contributions which helped make the show a success.
The NVS Silver Medal was awarded to Mick Shipley for his set of two Carmen cucumbers.
The Shrewsbury Trophy (Most Points in Show) went to Phil Burgess.
