THE society's autumn show, in the village hall, was a splendid display of flowers, fruit and vegetables. Entries in the flower classes were particularly spectacular. Cookery skills were also on show and there was a good display in the photographic section.
Before the awards ceremony, treasurer David Rea asked for a short period of silent remembrance for the society's late chairman Dr Elizabeth Mitchell, who had been actively associated with the society since its inception and who would be greatly missed.
The following awards were presented by Evelyn Phillips, the society's secretary:
Wychbold Horticultural Society Shield, G Eades; The Rock Evans Cup, D Rea; The Wychbold Horticultural Cup, G Eades; The Wychbold Flower Club Cup, G Russell; The Domestic Cup, Sheila Amess; The Bonham Cup, Beryl Smith; The Flower Club Challenge Cup, C Cotterill; The Emily Bonham Award, C Sommerfield; The President's Salver, G Russell. Webbs gift vouchers were won by G Eades and C Cotterill
David Rea conducted a lively auction of exhibits after which the raffle was drawn to conclude another fine and worthwhile show. The society's AGM will be held on Tuesday, October 18, at 7.30pm in the village hall, with Brian Draper as our guest speaker.
