Ebrington

Show, organised by Lucy Dunphey with help from the committee and members of the club. There were excellent displays of flowers and the other sections, such as craft, cookery, floral displays, wine and photography had many interesting exhibits. The vegetable section was not as full as usual but it is hoped that this will be remedied next year by Ebrington's keen vegetable growers. There were several new cups this year thanks to the generosity of local people. The winners of the cups, shields and classes were as follows:

Jane Hart won the Sarah Grant Memorial Rose Bowl for the lady gaining most points in the show; Jane Hart also won the Challenge Shield for the most points gained in the show; Basil Hart won the Miriam Collins Flower cup for most points in the Flower Classes; Basil Hart also won the R.H.S.
