Virtual Othona Flower and Produce Show

Space is available on this event! :-D

As the Bradwell Flower Show cannot go ahead this year, we have decided to do a Virtual one of our own. The categories will be somewhat simplified in the virtual version, they will be as follows:

• Best Cake;
• Best Bread
• Worst Lockdown cookery fail
• Cut Flowers – arrangement or vase
• Garden or potted flowers
• Tomatoes
• Most Unusual Fruit or Vegetable
• Your Best Fruit or Vegetable
• Lockdown Crafting

Participants should submit their entries to susannekelly@othona.org  by 5:00pm on Thursday 6^th August.  The entries will be arranged onto Powerpoint slides by category, and the document will be put on the website on Saturday.  There will be a public Zoom meeting for a light-hearted chat and to discuss the entries at 3:00pm on Saturday 8^th August. We will go through all the entries at this time.  If you wish to participate in this let the Bradwell office (bradwell@othona.org) know and they will send out the meeting invitation to you.

In addition to this we will provide a link to a survey website so that you can vote for the winner in each category.  The winners will be announced on the Othona Bradwell website on Sunday August 9^th.

Donations

All the Virtual events have been organised as a fundraising exercise to try to offset some of the significant financial losses that both centres have incurred during the lockdown, and as a result of operational restrictions required by Government Social Distancing rules.  We suggest a £5 donation using our online giving link (https://givi.ng/1154204) for participation in the Zoom meeting, and £1 per entry into the Flower show.  Note that the organisers of all the Virtual events are giving their time for free, so all money raised will go to Othona.
