By popular demand here are some views of Leesa's trug which secured us 3rd place for an annoying 4th year running. We just can't seem to do any better despite this being the best one we've done by a long chalk. Most years we've lost out to a Mr Porter and Alan Young who have always contested first and second. Whilst we did manage to beat Alan this year a Mr T Smith who beat us into second at Harrogate decided to come down to Malvern and took the honours meaning we stayed in 3rd place. This class has really improved over the last few years and there were a good half dozen or more entries to go with the dozen or so at Harrogate so people really are having a go. Jim Pearson in particular was amazed at the standard of this class at Malvern.
I've told Leesa she can give up now if she wishes but she enjoys doing them and is secretly determined to get that elusive red ticket I reckon. A little tip.....the leeks in my trug were oblong in shape as they had gone to seed months ago! By turning them on their sides and burying them no-one can tell!

Nice display :). Be good if you could also show a pic of the empty trug? I have a basket which I think was originally meant for carrying bread which could be used and would like to compare. Nice friendly class to enter :)
Friendly? You never heard Leesa's language after judging!
nice trug and well done Lisa
Did you forget to bring your own black cloth covered trug tilter block ?
That's what swung it for 1st place.
There is almost as much if not more effort that goes into the trugs as a collection
I know there is no way I could do it
You ought to have a go yourself next year, Simon. Can't let Leesa beat you every time.
