You could make your choice - horse or horse-power!
 |
 |

The conversation was about all things floral and horticultural... | |

 | These folk 'know their onions' as the old saying goes (and their cabbages, and their flowers and their potatoes, and their tomatoes...) |
Of course it's not all serious: Here's the children's contest on the left, and on the right the, er, most unusual shaped vegetable... |

 |
Aaah, calories! The judging table grans under ther weight of all those delicious looking entries in the various cookery categories. |
|
 |
More exhibits to delight the eye... Best Miniature Garden in a Seed Tray on the left, and Best Photograph on the right. | |

Would you care for a seat? Unfortunately you would have to be only about 5½" tall! This beautiful Doll's House was built to a scale of 1" to a foot, and was made by a local from Crick village, part of the Caerwent Community. Not unsurprisingly, it won a First Prize in the Handicrafts Section. | |

Some of the communities "Old Families" were at the show - here enjoying a get-together in the bar with some of the newer members of the community. | |
| And in the Show Ring... | |
 |

Finally, last but not least, here's Caerwent's Showman-in-Chief...
 ...and you can bet that the clipboard is already headed 'Caerwent Show 2002'! Well done everybody who worked so hard to make the show a success. |
