Welcome
It is a delight to welcome you to our Summer Show, the first in two years. In recent
memory we have never missed a Show, the highlight of the Club’s year. We reached
our 80th Anniversary in 2020 so now is a great opportunity to celebrate getting back
together.
This spring we have experienced strange growing conditions – either too little rain or
too much, warm and then cold. The last year however saw a surge in gardening
interest with many growing vegetables and being more adventurous nurturing
different types of flowers.
So now is the time to literally show off your efforts by entering the Show. There are
lots of classes to choose from. Although we have limited the size of the Show to a
small degree, due to capacity in the Hall,* the Horticultural classes are mostly
unchanged.
We may not be able to use Karen’s beautiful china this year but tea and coffee and
fabulous home-made cake will still be available. A huge thank you to the Committee
and Helpers for their enthusiastic support and thank you for taking part, marvelling at
the exhibits or just joining us for a cuppa!
Julie Pearson
Club Chairman
*The Show will be run in a Covid secure way appropriate at the time
