Banner beekeepers had a fantastic honey show on 15th October. The honey show judge was the renowned Redmond Williams who remarked that the quality of Co. Clare honey was as usual very good. Cianna Wall was successful in the novice, junior and moulded candles classes. Frank Benson won the commercial class with Cliff Deegan picking up a few classes. Seconds and thirds were Larry Sweeney, Michael Curran, Tony Maher, Roisín Troy, Eamon Troy and John Wall. Frank Benson won the raffle and kindly donated the win to the association.
