60th Horticultural Show: photos and results

Sunday September 4, 2011 by Mike A

Visitors to this year’s 60th Horticultural Show were treated to another fine display of locally grown flowers, fruits and vegetables. Other categories included eggs, cakes, scones, biscuits, pies, quiches, bread, jams, chutneys, canapes and photographs.

The prize-giving ceremony, which was presided over by Nia Linnell, saw Tony Marshall taking home no fewer than five trophies: a remarkable achievement. This was followed by the ever-popular auction of entries, with Robert Bunting doing the duties as auctioneer.

Congratulations are due to all those who won prizes, and thanks are due to all the entrants, to the Horticultural Society for organising the event, and to the judges who kindly lent their expertise.
