ORGANISERS of the second Lymm Produce Show were so pleased with how it went, they are already planning for 2015.

Challengers came forward to battle it out to be best baker, top brewer, and perfect pie maker earlier this month at Oughtrington Community Centre.

Now they have an extra hot challenge planned for next year when the event will be held on September 7.

Organiser Jo Yellen explains: "We thought we would have a chilli competition.

"What we haven’t decided is whether to have a chilli tasting competition too.

"So if you know about chillies and think you can judge them please get in touch.

"If you enjoyed the show you can start planning your entry for next year.

"While we do change some of the categories you can bank on us having beans & tomatoes classes. However you can bank on us having ‘wild card’ class."

The theme for this year's show was the the bugs have landed in the orchard with lots of bugs and a bug hotel to amuse the visitors.

This year, competition was so close in the bread category that winners Maxine Smith and Jen Muphy shared the Lymm & District Round Table Bakers Shield as the judge couldn’t choose between two very different breads - a batch and a fig & walnut loaf.

Donald Reid managed to keep his Lymm & District Round Table Brewer Shield for his home brew beer, winning both first and second in that category.

And a new pie class was sponsored by Lymm Ladies with Ruth Warren's savoury beetroot, cheese and onion Pie winning.

And the children's competitions were also keenly contested, especially in the shortest bean and favourite bake categories.

Also on show to visitors were produce from the Oughtrington Community Orchard's apple press. That is available to rent at oughtrington.co.uk/orchard/page19.html or get in touch at orchard@oughtrington.co.uk If you have ideas for next year's produce show, e-mail orchard@oughtrington.co.uk
