From Margaret Axford's book, (see record 591 but a copy of this booklet only available in WVA) it is known that she joined the Village Produce Association committee in the late 1960s when Fred Anson was the chairman, Glyn Evans was the secretary/treasurer and other committee members were Ron White, Rose Robinson and Cyril Harding. Wilfrid Sheldon was the show secretary. When he was forced, through ill health, to give up this role in the VPA in 1970, effectively signalling the end of the VPA, this role was taken over by Margaret Axford.
