SPRING SHOW 2009 - Review

    

The Spring Show held at the Deverell Hall on 28th March was both a success and a disappointment. All the visitors enjoyed the show and for most it was a good social occasion as they renewed friendships over a cup of tea and the excellent cakes provided by Betty’s team.

The spring Flower judge commented on the high quality of the daffodils on display. Mark Ward won the Eric Martin Cup for the Best Daffodil exhibit, the PHS Spring Cup for the highest total points over the Daffodil Classes 1 to 6 and shared the Society Shield for the highest aggregate points overall with Peter Harden. Peter Rogers did not feature in the prizes this year - but did win the highest prize money. Sue Andrews won the Stan Wood cup for 6 “Barrett Browning” Daffodils in a pot, Maureen Kemp won the Peter Harden Trophy for 12 “Cheerfulness” in a bowl of pebbles and water and Mrs K Lunn won the PHS Novice Spring Cup.

The Floral Art judge praised the very high standard of the entries and as Show Secretary I am particularly grateful to Jenny Withers for drumming up both the large number of Floral Art entries and helpers and for entering her much admired interpretation of “Spring Garden” which won the Trophy for the best Floral Art exhibit.

Thank you to all of you who helped set up, run and dismantle the Show and to all of you who put in the effort to enter and exhibit.

I was disappointed that there were only 20 entrants and 97 entries in the Show. Particularly disappointing was the single entry in the novice classes and the absence of entries in the Childrens classes. We will however persevere with these classes and hope that we can persuade more of you to enter next year.
