Apple Day could not happen without the help of many contributors. We would like to thank all our regular helpers; Neil Angus and Il Lupo for their help with this year’s soups; and the Chatsworth Trust for their help with printing costs.
Finally, a big thank you to all our exhibitors and volunteers, as well as thanks to our competition judge, Max Fischer
