THE weather once again played its part and due to extreme humidity many of the growers' blooms "damped off", reducing the number of entries in the early show, but the following won the society's trophies.
Derek Evans - Silver Challenge Bowl, Halifax Trophy, NCS Certificate Best Reflex; John Roger - Silver Cup; Sid Webb - CA Sothers Cup, Silver Medal Best Multi Vase, Silver Medal Best Vase, NCS Certificate Best Incurves; Derek Isherwood - R and D Anson Trophy; Bryn Griffiths - Jubilee Cup; Ian Thornton - The A Wilson Award, Best Sprays.
Special congratulations to John Rogers, who won the top award at the Kings Heath Garden Weekend, and Sid Webb, winning a gold medal at the National Show, and Derek Isherwood, who gained a fourth place. Thanks to all who erected and dismantled the staging, also the staff of Earlswood Village Hall and Ruth at the Blue Bell Inn.
The next meeting at Shirley Community Centre on Wednesday, October 12 at 7.30pm will be the Mini Show. All entries to Ian Thornton, 01564 779450, by Tuesday, October 11. For more details, call Albert Round on 0121 6815038.
