Westfield

Westfield Community Hall: was a sea of colour at the Horticultural Society: Spring Show last Saturday. Vases of spring flowers, beautiful flower arrangements and vegetables were displayed alongside mouth-watering cookery items, crafts and children's classes. This year the WHS have linked up with Friary Gardeners, who had a display and a lovely selection of plants for sale. There are lots of photos of exhibits and winners on the '˜What's on in Westfield' Facebook page; do take a look. Congratulations to all concerned on a very successful afternoon.
