Summer Show – Sunday 4 July
Despite clashing with the Wimbledon final and also having unsettled weather over the previous few days, the quality of the exhibits was to be admired. Twenty one vases of Sweet Peas scented the hall with some quality roses adding to the myriad of colours displayed. As always, the Floral Art section attracted stiff competition resulting in breathtaking displays of art work. Our recently introduced photographic section is proving very popular with very good entries showing off people’s talents with the camera. Results: Open classes for Sweet Peas – 1st Roger Pigg, 2nd Jeremy Wilkes, 3rd John North, 4th Jeff Norwood. Sweet Pea Society’s Medal for the best exhibit – Jeremy Wilkes; T.J. Denny Trophy most points roses – Roger Pigg; Rose Society’s Medal best exhibit – Elizabeth Percy; F. Baldwin cup – floral art – Eileen Foulgham; the Pettet cup – most points all flowers – Elizabeth Percy; A.T. Hutchinson cup – bowl of sweet peas – Ann Rees.
