March Cut Flower Competition 2020 - before the Pandemic arrived.

Perhaps due to the constant rain and people not wanting to congregate, there was only about 60% of members at the Friday 13th meeting - another reason? However 5 visitors and 4 new members were welcomed. Understandably, the competition table was rather sparse for a change, but there were many excellent entries - mainly by Elizabeth Hales.

February Cut Flower Competition 2020

The front tables were crowded with magnificent blooms, despite all the rain that we've had. Co-Ordinator Shirley McDonald and her helpers, Eunice and Pam displayed them beautifully.

The results of the monthly Cut Flower competition were announced at the November AGM.

The winner was Elizabeth Hales, shown with the Co-Ordinator Shirley Mc Donald.

Second place: Reg Gibson

Third place: Ken Evans

Fourth was Joy Fixter

Fifth was Teddy Gove.

The Encouragement Award was presented to hard working Secretary, Monika Stinton who has little time to enter the competition.
