Gardeners defied the weather and filled the show benches with over 200 exhibits.

Prize winners included Eileen Fletcher, who won the Jim Greenhow Cup for most points over the shows staged during the summer, and the Fred Caswill Cup for most points in the special classes.

Mike Ecob won the Autumn Show Cup for best in show and the Autumn Rosette for best in the horticultural exhibits, with a collection of vegetables. He also won the Jim Powell Cup for the heaviest root of potatoes from one tuber (42lb). Hilary Kilby won the rosette for best general exhibit, with a painting of a sheepdog.

There were no entries in the U-14s, but Abigail Gould and Edmund Harrison won cups with outstanding entries in the under-7 and under-11 sections respectively.

Amy Parfitt was awarded a cup for exhibits through the three shows.

The cups were presented by Mike George of Hereford and Worcester Radio.
