Annual Show 2009
June 24th, 2009 | Published in Annual Show
The 16th Annual Show on Saturday 25 July was once again held at The Crescents Community Centre, Laburnham Crescent, Kettering. The Show Judge was Alan Solomans, a BFS National Judge, who was very complimentary on the exhibits he was being asked to judge.
Doors were open to the public at 11.00am after the judging. Despite problems with the weather pattern over the preceeding months that was not fuchsia friendly, the quality, range and number of exhibits was as good as ever and showed the dedication and skill of the exhibitors.
As always the plant stall, cake table, tombola and refreshments proved very popular. Again, we were delighted once again to welcome the Mayor of Kettering to the show who spent a considerable amount of time viewing the exhibits and quizzing the exhibitors.
Our thanks for a successful show go to a hardworking team led by Laurence Callaghan and Charles Swann.
