Stunning flowers at summer show
The vegetable classes were particularly well supported and the judge was well pleased with the numbers and the standard of the produce on show.
Three keen vegetable growers shared the cups evenly between them this year.

This year was a particularly difficult one for fuchsias; of the 25 taken only three made it to the show bench, so Betty Piper, who won the cup in this section with a spectacular specimen, deserves special praise.
Roses and dahlias also provided some stunning colour and the wet spring and late burst of summer produced some very handsome apples and fruit for the jam makers.
The cup winners were as follows:
n Whitbread Cup, Broad Cup and Chairman’s Cup – Robert Piper
