SPRING SHOW 25 MARCH
 
THE ABRAHAMS CUP (Overall points winner)   Marguerite Browning
THE H. SIMMONDS CUP  (Runners up)  Elizabeth Percy and Ann Rees

In spite of the very cold and dismal weather we have had this year, the Spring show of the Chipperfield Horticultural Society was a great success.  The lack of flowers in our gardens at this time meant that the classes for daffodils were far from full, but the Village Hall was still bursting with colour.
Pots and vases of other plants and blooms, vegetables of all shapes and sizes filled the tables.  The floral art exhibits were wonderful and showed great flair and talent.   The handicraft,  one of fastest growing sections, was fantastic.  Toys, canvaswork, woodwork, painting, knitting, embroidery, soft furnishings and sewn garments were all a joy and we marvelled at the skill of the entrants.   The domestic section was mouth watering, from lemon meringue pies to bread rolls they all looked wonderful.   The photography is going from strength to strength and we had 3 very strong classes.  In the junior handicraft section, Meg Ward swept the board.
All in all a great day in spite of the weather and our thanks go to all our judges and stewards who helped to make it such a success.
