2020 Summer Flower Show
The show must go on! – Despite the Coronavirus restrictions and following the success of the virtual Spring Show the BGA repeated the same approach for the Summer 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.
There were many entries covering 49 of the 56 classes plus one junior class entry making the task of selecting the winners all the more challenging, especially when judging the “home craft” entries – “virtual tasting” was interesting, but again the judges 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.
