On Friday, 13 September 1946 a public meeting was held in Geldeston Village Hall to discuss the future of the wartime Village Produce Shows. Miss Mabel Pocock and Mrs Molly Crowfoot, who had served, respectively, as Chair and Secretary to the committee, were stepping down. “Now more men were available”, they felt, a new committee should be formed.
