2005 Spring Show

Our Spring Flower Show at Blenheim High School Epsom was visited by not only one, but by two Mayors. The Mayor of Epsom and Ewell, Cllr. Brian Angus and Mayoress Margaret Angus were accompanied by, Claude Charpentier, the Mayor of Chantilly and his wife Annie.

Epsom and Ewell is twinned with Chantilly in France and so it was of particular significance to have the Mayor and his wife as honoured guests during, what was for them, a hectic schedule of visits. As you can see they presented the prizes to our winning entrants and helped clear up at the end - well one bench at least.

The show attracted over 350 entries of flowers, floral art, cookery and handicraft in addition to a children’s section that at this show made attractive celebratory pop up cards. Over 300 daffodils were on display and were of an extremely high standard.

Our particular congratulations go to Valerie and Geoff Ellam who won the Spring Show Challenge Trophy Cup for the highest number of points in the Bulbs section of the show, and George Barrett who won the Arnall Cup for the Runner Up in this section. George Barrett is also to be congratulated for winning the Ted Grace Bulb Trophy for class 2 entrants.

Our thanks as always to Fred for all of the pictures.
