It may not have the glitz and glamour of the Oscars, but for farmers in an annual competition it was their night.

More than 160 people turned out to Greenstead Green and District Agricultural Club’s awards dinner to celebrate the 2014 Annual Farm and Crops competition last Friday.

Club chairman Will Ketley hosted the evening and cups were presented by president John Powell.

The main speaker was Andrew Fairs of H G Fairs & Son, who gave an amusing speech with anecdotes and stories.

Will Ketley rounded off the evening by presenting Will Waterer, the previous chairman, with a weathervane for his new house in recognition of his three years service as vice chairman and his three years as chairman.
