IN his most inimitable way, both professional and humorous, Jack Gilbert, NGS judge, awarded the "Maurice Ayers" trophy to Derek Isherwood for his display of Lemon Rose Huckaby.

The next meeting at Shirley Community Centre, Stratford Road, on November 8 at 7.30pm will be a mini show.

All entries for both shows to Ian and Margaret Thornton on 01654 779 450. For more details, call Albert Round on 0121 681 5038.
