THE SUMMER? SHOW 2007 - Updated 11th August 2007

Any event held this year which includes the word "Summer" in the title is stretching the limits of credibility but, despite the appalling weather in the weeks leading up to the show, the gardeners of Farringdon conjured up a magnificent display of Horticultural excellence in the Manor Barn with not a drop of rain in sight.

Your reporter arrived as Geoff Hawkins, Judging the Horticultural Classes, was taking a careful look at vegetable exhibits and make the all important awards and placings, with the Official Farringdon Horticultural Society Stewards in close attendance.

At the other end of the barn Priscilla Wedderburn-Maxwell was equally meticulous in her assessment of the Homecraft entries, with the selfless assistance of the Show Secretary, Carole Williams.

Further down the table The Gingerbread Men, Women and Persons of indeterminate sex, appeared to be enjoying the experience, including the one member of the team who appears to have sacrificed one or two vital parts to the Judging process.

Handicraft entries were under the close scrutiny of Judge Serena Bone with Elizabeth Williams performing the Stewarding duties in this section.

While I can't pretend to be an expert on such things there were some interesting and meticulously executed flower arrangements on the "Green" theme

.

With judging under way your reporter slipped home for some nourishment before returning when the show opened for the all important awards ceremony in the afternoon
