OBKA Annual Honey Show 2019

This year saw more entrants that the 2018 show, with 10 exhibitors showing a total of 53 exhibits. It’ good to see more members entering but, with some 230 members in OBKA (and 50 new members a year from the Beginners Course) let’s hope we can do even better for entries in 2020.

 

Thanks go to Peter Hawkins for organising the Annual Honey Show and for doing the judging. The full results are below the photo album.

 

And of course we mustn’t forget the people who helped set up the hall and supplied teas and coffees when setting out was taking place.
