THE SUMMER? SHOW 2007- Part 2- Updated 11th August 2007
After a prolonged
lunch, your reporter returned to the Hall to find the competitors searching
the tables to see how their exhibits had fared , some becoming more intimately
involved in the exhibits than others.
Anna Cameron, (on
the left of the picture) winner of Novices Section A and Sue Fifield, who
took second place in the Floral Art section were deep in conversation among
the flowers.
The Childrens Miniature
Desert Garden class was an all Schryver affair with Sophie and Lucy taking 1st
and 2nd places in the class.
It
was soon time for the Prize Giving Ceremony and with Phyll Watts in command
first up were the Childrens Classes.
Katie Boylan, ( pictured
right ) took top honours, taking home the Childrens' Challenge Cup and the
Certificate for Best Exhibit for her Vegetable Person ( below)
The Homecraft Cup went to Sue Ovell (left) with Catherine Cameron picking up the certificate for the best Exhibit with her Strawberry Jam.
Here I have to apologise the Sheila Pawson, who picked up the Shield and Best
Exhibit award in the Handicraft Section; due to the usual incompetence your
photographers attempt to record this presentation managed to capture a blurred
close-up of the camera strap with an equally blurred figure in the background
which only those who know Sheila well would ever recognise.
More successful was

The
Hartley children picked up an array of First places in the individual classes
and are pictured selecting their prizes with the assistance of their Mother
and Phyll Watts.
.
After this I must confess to becoming a little confused.
Im sure Brian Williams presented Phyll Watts with the Challenge Cup for the Overall Award for overall top score in the Vegetable and Flowers sections and the Farringdon Cup for the Highest points Scored by a Farringdon Resident.
Just who took top honours in the each section I'm not absolutely certain as it was difficult to keep pace with the mutual presentations.
Phyll
Watts may have won the Flower Section and Brian Williams the Vegetable section
or it could have been Brian Watts and Phyll Williams or even What Brian and
Will Phyll ( fortunately the Show secretary did know who won what and the
official results can be found on an adjoining page - link below)
Whoever eventually won what there was much applause and I have more pictures
of Phyan and Brill than I know what to do with. (Please address any suggestions
to the Horticultural Society)
After this it was time to draw the raffle. There were one or two worthy prize winners but, as is always the way, some undesirables sneak in from beyond the parish boundary and pick up a prime offering.
Thanks
( I'm not sure thanks is the appropriate word to use in these circumstances)
to David Hartley, the low point of this years show was recorded for posterity
on the Biz digital and I can only apologise for including it here. Are we getting
to the stage when we need to import Village Idiots? Are there not more suitable
candidates within the Farringdon Parish boundary?
Order was finally restored with a vote of thanks for the organisers from Ian Dussek.
Thanks to Carole Williams for the accurate list of prizewinners
