This years competitions took place on Sunday 5th October 2008 at BAKO Western Cullompton Devon.
Although the total number of entries was down slightly on last year the number of firms taking part had increased, it was good to see both new and old faces. The overall standard of entries was excellent, this gave the judges quite a task when some classes included more than one entry of outstanding quality. Excellent prize money again this year, thanks to our Allied Traders, NA Education Fund again sponsored the Trainee classes with £100 in prizes for each class.
This year the title “The Best West Country Baker” was awarded to Burns the Bread from Glastonbury
