Etchingham Flower Show Results

Fine weather greeted a good gathering of people to the annual Flower and Dog Show on Saturday, August 31. There were a lot of entries in the Dog Show which is always a popular event on the day. Flower Show entries were a bit down on previous years, possibly a combination of the growing year and the show being held a week earlier than in previous years, with some people who may have entered still away on holiday, however all the entries were up to the usual high standard.
