THE 60th Annual Flower Show of the Society took place on September 7 at the Peace Hall in Rowney Green.

It turned out to be a diamond anniversary to be remembered: fine weather, lots of displays, people and friendship.

It was a show full of colour, variety and high quality with the displays which reflected well on exhibitors and organisers alike.

The wealth of contributions from all quarters ensured the success of a day's events that marked an important milestone in the history of a Rowney Green society. Thank you all.
