            This was our third Show at Portchester after 32 years at
		 
		The Southsea Show  
		(which has now been replaced with a smaller show on the Castle Field).  Entries were 
		slightly up on 
		last year with 93 blooms, 38 pots and 3 hanging pots. It was generally 
		agreed that standards were higher. The only disappointment was the small 
		attendance especially on the Sunday, probably due to extremely hot and sunny 
		weather 
		after our poor early summer.  |
