Pie competition
Entries reflected both sweet and savoury recipes, and first time competitors Becky Eardley and Pam Robotham, of Woodville Road, were judged the winners with an apple and cinnamon pie created from fruit freshly garnered from the garden.
Becky said: “As per the rules, the pastry was home-made, too, but it was touch-and-go meeting the deadline for entries. Our pie was still in the oven barely minutes before we were due at the Sportsman.”
