On Saturday the 10th annual fete and gala and horticultural show, held under the auspices of the Langley mill and Aldercar Co-operative Society, took place at Lacey Fields Farm, when over 8,000 people were present. A procession over half a mile in length, headed by the Heanor Old Prize Band, started from Cromford Rd, through the streets to Eastwood and Hill Top, returning to Lacey Fields, where a couple of marquees were erected. The judges were Messrs J.C.Tallack (Shipley Hall gardens) and J.Bradley (Worksop Manor Gardens). The Hon secretaries, Messrs A. Wyld, Hemmington and W.J. Angell are to be congratulated on their efficient arrangements. The entries were in excess of any previous year. A number of stage performances took place under the direction of mr Will Temple (Nottingham). In the evening a band played for dancing.

Report followed by a long list of awards.
