THE FARRINGDON LATE SUMMER SHOW

This was the first time we have had a show so late in the year and we wondered how many entries we would have. We did not need to worry as it turned out most classes were well filled.

THE JUDGES

Mr John Negus (well-known judge and journalist); Vegetables and Flower Classes.

Mrs P Wedderburn-Maxwell; Homecraft.

Mrs A Appleby; Handicraft and Children Classes.

All the Judges were impressed with the standard of the exhibits. The church looked lovely and we thank Rev Tony and the churchwardens, Ann and Andrew, for allowing us to use it.

THE VEGETABLE CLASSES

These were hotly contested with David Horton winning most points and Nick Rowe coming a close second. Nick also won the Brian Williams Cup in the “any other” vegetable class.

THE FLOWER CLASSES

These were won by Cally Horton.

FLORAL ART

This class was won by Mo Biggs

HOMECRAFT

So many entries that we nearly ran out of space, the overall winner was Mark Westcott.

HANDICRAFT

Very diverse entries showing just how talented some of you are, the winner was Mo Biggs.

CHILDRENS CLASSES

Alice and Pippa Rowe were joint winners, they were very excited to win again with their splendid entries.

The only disappointment of the day was that there were so few children… come on you mums and dads let your children show us what they can do!

Teas and delicious homemade cakes were very popular(we nearly ran out of cakes).

The 59’er was won by Alex Roe.

As Chairman I would like to thank the committee for their hard work for the smooth running of the show and to all who helped with the heavy tables and serving the refreshments.

All round it was a very successful event in what has been a very successful year for the society.

HAPPY GARDENING
