First Autumn Show - October 2014
This new venture took place in the new community shed. Eleven members took part and hopefully this will grow into a bigger event. Members who purchased tea and coffee on the day were invited to judge the exhibits using the RHS criteria. It didn’t take long for people to realise that size did not matter, but uniformity of ripening and lack of blemishes and uniformity, when more than one example was required, were the key criteria.
