Congratulations to Sue T who won the Michaelmas Fayre Grand Potato Challenge and thanks to David C who kindly judged this under COVID-19 appropriate judging conditions. The contestants collected their seed potato and grow-sack in those long-off days before lockdown and have been carefully nurturing them ever since so really good we get these judged and a winner declared. We'll be getting Sue's engraved on the St James Cup and delivered appropriately.
