So c ie ty held a committee meeting at the White Hart, when accounts and rep o rts from the annual show were presented and it was judged to have been a great success. All comments from exhibitors and visitors alike were very favourable. Proposals were put forward concerning next year’s show,


which will be the 50th annual event, and is intended to be extra special. Following the success of the


f i r s t “G a rd en ers Question Time” earlier this year, it was decided to hold a similar event next February.
