      The 
		Southport Show  200617th. - 20th. August  at Victoria Park, Southport

      | 
		  
		 The 
		Southport Show was held at Victoria Park Southport, and whilst entries 
		were a little lower, they still show that things are on the up in the 
		North West. 
			   Vincent Potts continued his 
			success of recent shows and again proved himself to be a pot grower 
			of repute, winning the 6, 3 and single pot classes as well as best 
			pot with Mrs E McLaughlan.  Cut-blooms were of a generally good 
			standard with the main prize for the 6 blooms going to Mark 
			Richardson, proving that he is now a cut bloom grower who will win 
			many prizes in the coming years.  Best Bloom went to 
			Denis Hague for yet another lovely Fred Martin. This old variety 
			still takes some beating when grown well, and appears to have 
			survived the heat very well. |
