However, it didn’t really seem to do justice to those most glorious of summer blooms.

A chance chat with Slinfold H.S., who have their show on a Saturday, lead to both societies holding a combined event this year in Slinfold.

The result just goes to show what a little co-operation can do, and all agreed that it had been a great success!

We hope to repeat the enterprise again next year, Southwater hosting.

Honour was satisfied as winners in the various classes were spread between the members of both societies as follows:

n The William Doll Rose Cup (For most points in Div 1) - Pauline Jepps
