| Wivenhoe at the Tendring Show | |
| At this year's Tendring Show, held on a perfect summer's day on Saturday 12th July, 2003, Wivenhoe were the featured town in the Community Tent. And Wivenhoe
people and organisations rose to the occasion to put on wonderful showcase
representing some examples of what makes Wivenhoe place a special place in
which to live and visit.
Some 25 organisations had brought stands, including entries too from Millfields and Broomegrove schools. Other organisations and groups, appeared on the stage throughout the day, in a full programme organised by Tricia Faulkner. The tent was decorated internally by Dave Sleightholm with some of the Christmas lights used to create a magical atmosphere in Wivenhoe during December. Hundreds of people came through the tent during the day and many favourable comments were made. Amongst those coming round included local MP, Bernard Jenkin and his wife, Anne. The Nottage Institute's exhibit won a cup from the Tendring Hundred Show Committee for best stand, with Wivenhoe Allotment and Gardens Association getting 2nd place.
