This show held 
			over the second weekend of June is a first opportunity for Lakin 
			Earl to show his prowess. 
			   Right on his 
			doorstep, he starts a couple of tubers off in his airing cupboard 
			over Christmas to make this early date. Lakin has struggled this 
			year like most of us but these early flowers fly the flag for 
			begonias. 
			   Here are this 
			years exhibits, which made a contrasting splash of colour to the 
			rose and sweat peas. By the way, his peas took pride of place in the 
			vegetable class!
