The 54th. National Show.
Held in conjunction with The Gardeners Weekend. Kings Heath Park.
The Show was
one of the best for many years. Entries were up on last year in most
classes and the quality was very good, especially in the cut bloom
classes, where Ken Gallagher again won the National 12 bloom
championship. Barry Walker was champion of the pot plants in the 7 pot
championship and Lakin Earl was once more the master of the restricted
pots. Best Pot was won by Paul Lakin with Whispers, whilst I was
successful with Ruby Young as best bloom. We still need more entries
next year, but this was a big improvement and a credit to the Society.
The highlight on Saturday was
the presentation of Society Silver Medals by Chairman Len Gill (right)
to Dave Coates (left) and John Taylor (centre) for service to the
society over many years.
