On Saturday 3 September we held our Autumn Flower show, with plenty of entries, particularly from the children, Brownies, Nursery School and Primary School. We are very grateful to Ann Musker who encouraged these children to enter and we hope they will continue to enter the future flower shows. The show was very well attended and everyone seemed to enjoy themselves looking at the many entries and chatting over a cup of tea and a piece of cake. For those that missed the show this page shows the results and a selection of photos showing the fine displays and exhibits.
Our thanks go to the members that entered the 67 separate classes and to Colin Barber, our Show Secretary, who organised the show.
