MADAM - May I through your column, say a huge thank you to Edna Powell, Michelle Welch, Mavis and Tony Wyatt and all their many helpers for another wonderful Stroud Country Show.

Another excellent day out with something for everyone, a chance to meet old friends and a lovely way to bring the Stroud and District community together.

A couple of people, who had never been before, said they did not realise what they had been missing and would now make it an annual event for their families.

If it was not for all the very hard work that Edna and her band of volunteers put in over the year there would be no Show and for this we are truly grateful.

It makes one proud to be a Stroudie.
