The society's chair, Martyn Davis revealed he was 'pleased' with the proceedings, but hopes the show can return in its traditional form soon.

Mr Davis said: "We were very pleased with the number of exhibitors and the quality of their entries.

"We look forward to holding our traditional shows as soon as we are able to and hope that everyone who has enjoyed entering the virtual show will come along and show everyone what they can do."
