A lovely day in Essex.The number of plants on display was disapointing ,but was to some extent expected,echoing the two national shows held here in the South East.
I was very lucky to get to "help" our judge,Ray Drew.I wrote down the placings while trying to take in what was being said about the plants and how they are displayed.Hopefully it's all gone in and remembered.

Kath Dryden award for best plant in show
Best plant in intermediate section
Best plant in novice section-mine!
Open 1 pan rock plant in flower
Open 1 pan Primulaceae-also best Primulaceae in show
