2008 Events
Harvest Supper - Friday 17th October - 7:00 for 7:30pm - The Red Bull
Partly due to the uncertainty over the Town Hall and the caterer, we have decided to branch out this year and try a new venue. The menu will be the traditional one of soup, ham salad and apple tart followed by tea/coffee. A vegetarian option will be available, but please notify us in advance if you wish to choose this option. The cost will be £10.00 per person.
Transport can be arranged for those who require it so there are no excuses!!
To reserve your place please contact either Pam Hall (telephone Malmesbury 823346) or Sean O’Shea (telephone Malmesbury 510490) as soon as possible as numbers are limited. Early payment would be appreciated.
Tickets can be collected at the September Meeting. Cheques should be made payable to:“Malmesbury Garden Club”
August Bank Holiday Show
The Club had an exceptionally good show in the ‘new’ Civic Centre Malmesbury with 86 competitors. The highlight of the show was the entries of the youngsters, with their exhibits in the competitions for the under 14 years and the under nine years. The youngest competitor was 4 years old Kate Evans who won two seconds and a third prize!
In spite of the recent poor weather, Mr Les Howells once again showed he could produce outstanding flowers, fruit and vegetables and he deservedly won a total of five cups for the most awards in these sections. His magnificent entries showed that whatever the conditions dedication can overcome them. Miss Doreen Campbell won the Presidents Cup for the most awards with her handicrafts, while Mrs Louise Williams won the Handy Cup for the most awards in the Home Produce section. Best photographs in the show was won by Mr David Hingham who received the Baskerville Salver. Mrs Jabbie Hewitt’s Floral Art gained her the Hoskins Salver and Mrs Jackie Bartholomew won the Millennium Goblet for the best Floral Art arrangement. There were 120 exhibits of a very high standard shown by the Juniors making for very hard decisions by the judges. The imaginative designs for a new postage stamp put the current Post Office designs to shame. Seven year old Caitlin Woodman’s industry in putting in 11 exhibits rewarded her with winning the Tilney Cup and ten year old Katherine Luckett, who also entered 11 exhibits, won the Grimes Cup. The Cup for the best exhibit in the Junior Section was won by Miss Chloe McKechnie for a beautiful dress she had made herself to attend a wedding.
