Produce Show 2014
The 60th Huttons Ambo Flower & Produce Show took place on Saturday 16th August.
Entries were particularly good – particularly the younger children who produced some really imaginative and colourful entries.
We
were not popular with the swallow family who had taken up residence
above the door and for whom our comings and goings just disrupted the
stream of food to the brood (see pic).
The Rector Taff Morgan presented the prizes and Andy Dorman took his usual role of MC.
Teas were tasty and gorgeous as ever – provided by Sarah Clark and her team and it was a really great day.
Thanks to the committee and all helpers.
Particular
thanks to Howard & Tara Wallis who are standing down from the
committee and welcome to Ruth & Neil Hannah who are joining us for
2015.
Finally
a HUGE THANK YOU to Denise & Noel Savage who have organised their
final village show raffle after decades of great service and now retire
to enjoy the show as spectators for many years to come we hope.
We will not be having a post show public meeting
due to availability of committee members but if you have any comments
or suggestions about ways to improve the show or classes we could add
then please contacts Liz@huttonsambo.com or drop a note in at Herbie’s.
Then followed our Hoe Down Evening – with tasty supper and line dancing led by the fantastic Sarah Swindells.
Participation
was high and the dance floor was filled with around 35 keen stompers
and many spectators comfortably enjoying a beer or a Pimms looked on.
Cowboy
boots and hats and much laughter were a plenty and if you imagine
Village People meets Toy Story with food and beer – you get the picture.
Men of Huttons Ambo in particular – you did us proud!!!
It
was a fantastic night and everyone really enjoyed the opportunity to
socialise even if the dancing wasn’t their thing. I am sure we will look
for some further opportunities for such nights going forward.
Thank you to everyone who supported and attended the evening.

The Boating Party - Huttons Ambo to Kirkham
The Boating Party
On Sunday 22nd June a party of villagers set off from Low Hutton Park for a voyage along the River Derwent in a boat kindly provided by Richard Hopkins and piloted by Graham Milner. Embarkation was at 11 a.m. from the Park field at Low Hutton and we progressed up river, encircling Cherry Island, as far as parallel with the Low Lane end.
There we turned and cruised with the current down to Kirkham, viewing the weir and finally tying up for a picnic on the river bank. Some of us walked up to the pub for lunch.
The weather was perfect, hot and still, and the countryside was lush and green. The views between Crambeck and Kirkham are beautiful, with barely a building to be seen, until the imposing presence of Howsham Hall and Kirkham Priory.
We saw grey wagtails, chaffinches, swans - unfortunately the motor alerted the shy birds so we didn't see a kingfisher.
We were all asked whether we would like to take a turn on the helm and a number of the young and not so young took up the offer.
After lunch we set off up river and arrived back at Low Hutton at 2.30 p.m. A truly memorable day and a wonderful trip - and there is no charge! Of course we should all be grateful for donations (suggested minimum £5) which will be shared amongst good causes in the village, such as the Village Hall Fund, the Produce Show Fund and the Church.
Very many thanks from us all to Graham. He is quite willing to take another group of villagers on Sunday July the 29th. If you wish to go please give Herbie your donation by July 14th to book your place. Judging from last time places go fast!
