BRAMLEY Show: Winners of Children’s Classes – The Bramley Show Children’s Cup was awarded to Samara Pranada, who also won the Sam Bruce Cup (children’s painting competition). The Reed Challenge Cup Best in Show Children’s Section winner was Gregory Harbot. The committee was so impressed by the imagination and number of children’s entries that a £10 voucher has been donated to Bramley school as an encouragement for 2015.
