Saturday 2nd. & Sunday 3rd. August  2008.      Portchester Parish Hall.
Judges:  Alan Harris & Andrew MacDougall

   The 35th. South Coast Area Show turned out to be one of our best shows in recent years. With 40 pots, 133 blooms, 6 non-tuberous and 4 hanging pots entries were well up on last year. The only downside was the small number of Intermediate and Novice entries.
   Dave Coates proved himself a true Champion yet again by virtually sweeping the board in the Open Classes.
