The show must go on! – Despite the Coronavirus restrictions the BGA continued with their Spring Flower show with a bit of fun and ingenuity with members submitting photographs of their entries by e-mail. These were judged by a small team of willing Judges:
- Flower Class entries (Judged by Ivan Waters),
- Flower Arranging (Judged by Diana Barber),
- Homecraft entries (Judged by Colin Barber)
- ‘Spring is Sprung’ photographs, (judged by Ivan Waters)
There were many entries covering 38 of the 55 classes making the task of selecting the winners all the more challenging, especially when judging the “home craft” entries – “virtual tasting” was interesting, but Colin rose to the challenge!!
Our thanks go again to Colin for organising this entertaining event, and we hope those that entered had fun entering and everyone enjoys seeing the results, which are listed below, followed by the photographs of the winning entries.
Congratulations to all the winners.
