The show this year was very well supported with an increased number of entries, including many new entrants and more involvement from the Guides, Cubs, Brownies, Rainbow and Milford Preschool. A large number of people attended the show.

They were awarded the Helen Cookson cup. The George Dowland cup for the most points in show by a child was awarded to Lilly Smith again.
