Village show

Warning- shameful amounts of self trumpeting contained within!

There was also a decorated bra competition to raise money for breast cancer, this was voted by the public- a donation got you a bean and you put it in the jar for your favourite bra. The entries were excellent, a fun contest. I think next year they are doing decorated pants (underpants/panties for non UK peoples).

Unfortunately they don't tell you which item it is for, but I am guessing it was for the socks based on the comments card.

Next year I am not leaving it till the last minute! (Heard that before, never works :D )
