Friday Forum Spring Flower Show

 With nearly 40 entries, the Flower Show was well supported.

Dorothy, as show secretary, did a sterling job with the paperwork and John Freer judged the  entries and explained why he graded the entries as he did plus tips for improving our entries in the future. The main advice was to read the schedule carefully as to number and type.
