Classes 93 and 94 for 6 types of cut flowers and 5 types of autumn fruits or seeds have become a most attractive feature of this show

..........a final view  of the hall. At 4pm the show closes and plants are removed  from the benches remarkably  quickly  then loaded   into cars ready to go home. As always I look forward to other people's  more detailed accounts .

Stan - you have even surpassed your own high standards here - one  gets a feeling of having actually visited the show - seen the plants - experienced the giggle of Carol Kellett (- so very smiley, like her dear sister Diane) and the (almost certainly) naughty comments of Brian Smethurst -and I am quite convinced, truly sensed the delicious scent of the bacon butties!
Don Peace does look a little worried that he has managed to squeeze all his  lovely plants back into his car - many an exhibitor  will know that feeling!
A spectacular  report of the show -  you must be worn out -thank you so much for these efforts on our behalf.
You have shown such fine views of the benches that we can be in no doubt of the quality of the show - and the view of the car park  demonstrates the level of activity from exhibitors and visitors.

Mala Janes has clearly excelled herself ( who would have thought that possible after the "Ruby" display?) with what is without doubt a well-thought out, fascinating  and most attractive display.

What a show  !
