Bunclody community come together for annual summer fete
The annual event hosted by the Bunclody Union of Parishes drew a great crowd who were eager to take in the grand show of classic cars, partake in the many games, and taste some of the menus on offer.
There was a great summer and joyful atmosphere against the backdrop of the picturesque grounds of the rectory as people of all ages joined in on the fun.
A very popular event on the day is always the dog show, with many beloved pets strutting their stuff to earn a variety of prizes across the categories.
The organisers also gave a special thanks to the judges and participants of the potato growing competition which saw an intense battle.
"Thanks to everyone who helped and supported the Bunclody summer fete at St Mary's Rectory. John Power congratulated the winner of the potato growing competition 2025, John Porter on achieving a crop weight of 2kg 362g from a single British Queen seed sown in a container around St Patrick's Day.
"Thanks to Kate Power, Isabelle Halligan, and Josh Collier plus friends for rummaging, weighing, and recording the crop weight of each of the 21 entries,' they said.
