Sarah Duke-Wooley from the organising committee of the Ingatestone & Fryerning Horticultural Society joined me to talk about the annual Summer Show that is celebrating its 52nd year. The event is on 21st of July at Seymour Field, just to the north of the village centre on the road to Chelmsford. She told us about the wide range of event, including country dancing, a dog show , a gymnastics display and a marching pipe band. There will also be stalls, BBQ, bar and an exhibition marquee. Everything begins at 12.30 with the marquee opening at 2pm. There is also a scarecrow competition. Clearly a fun afternoon not to be missed.
In the second hour we focused on music from 1976, a summer that was really long and hot. We also looked at how prices had dramatically increased in the forty two years. Listeners were encouraged to guess the cost of a new Ford Cortina Mark 4. The highest suggestion was £3000, the lowest £300. The correct answer was £!960. Everyone, including a number of teenagers listening, stated how they loved the music from that year. Some real classics.
