Most recently we have agreed to sponsor their National Hedge Laying Championship and County Show, with a grant of £1000, which is being held at Stourhead National Trust Land on 28 October 2017. It is hoped that the competition will attract over one hundred hedge layers with nine different styles, one of whom will become the Supreme Champion. The competition will also include some intermediate classes. The Society is very keen to support this important countryside skill and we are delighted to once again have an opportunity to give our backing to this thriving and increasingly popular rural event.
