“Again, the exhibitors filled Room 3 with their marvellous achievements of growing skills, displaying flowers, pot plants and vegetables.

“The photography section was very well supported and delighted the visitors, the category being wellington boots, shoes and slippers.

“The society would like to thank all those who have supported them over the past year and look forwarded to seeing them again in 2017.”

The red rosette for best flower in show went to Julie MacCulloch. She also won the Fred Hill Memorial Salver for dahlias and Farmer Cup for flowers and vegetables.
