Framfield & Blackboys Horticultural Society

Summer Show - Saturday 14th August 2010

Welcome to this year’s Summer Show Schedule. We have all fingers and toes crossed for good weather this year after the rather dismal start to the year.

We are always looking to improve the Schedule and have added a few new items and have also tried to simplify the Flowers and Plants Section a little this year as well as introducing a number of new flowers to exhibit.

Continuing our ongoing series of Show Related Talks, we have arranged a talk & demonstration by our judge Angela Merryfield on arranging flowers for exhibiting. Definitely worth coming to if you want to learn a few tricks of the trade. This is set for Thursday 6th May 7.30pm and is FREE for members with non members £3. This event of course now clashes with the General Election and so we will need to find a new venue different from the one originally advertised. Call Fiona Fidler on 01825 890858 for the updated information.

We always strive for something new and this year we have the "pleasure" of "Where WIll The Pig Do It?". You simply buy one of the squares in the arena and the winner is the square that the pig does its first pig-pat in.

As we stress every year, the show does not put itself on so we are always looking to welcome new members or volunteers. Please feel free to contact Jenny Bacon on 01825 890236 if you can help, even if it’s only for an hour.

Finally we are pleased to announce that the NFU Mutual have again agreed to be our main Sponsor for this year's Summer Show. We are delighted to have their support so please come along to see them at the Show.
