ONE of the best horticultural shows in the area was housed in St James' School Hall on Saturday - and entry was free. For the fourth time, the school


was used as the successful venue for Clitheroe Garden Club's annual show. The event was blessed with


good weather, making it a pleasant day for exhibitors and spectators. There were more than 400


entries from 46 exhibitors, 12 of whom had not shown at the gar­ den club's show previously. Among them were very skilled gardeners and novices. Club chairman Mr Bill Gregson


said that it was pleasing to see last year's novices returning to exhibit in the main classes. As in previous years, the children's classes were poorly supported, something he said, which was a constant source of disappointment for the organis­ ers.


Joan Knight spent the afternoon looking around the show and talk­

This year they were com­ plaining they would have nothing for the show due to the excellent growing season bringing crops on early. Last year was good. This year even better. He said he felt proud to head an


exhibits combined to make a feast for the eyes as visitors looked across the hall. I t was an educa­ tion for those who took time to study them, as many did. Visitors were encouragingly plentiful and many stayed right to the end, enjoying a cup of coffee and chat­ ting to other visitors and to club members. In his short address, prior to the


presentations, Mr Gregson praised his fellow members for raising


organisation that could put on one of the best horticultural shows in the area. He thanked everyone involved,


gardeners than themselves. I t was pointed out that, without these people, there would only be a com­ petition, not a show. He thanked the judges, all club members who had rolled up their sleeves to help and everyone who had visited the show. Finally, the chairman took the


opportunity to publicly thank the town council for donating the Standring and Whipp Cups to the club. As a result, he said, the club held part of the town's history. After the presentation of the

He thanked the head teacher and governors of the school for the use of what he described as "an ideal venue.” Thanking the head, Mr Paul Adnitt, personally for his great help and co-operation in the set­ ting up and taking down of the show. All who entered were thanked, special mention being made of those who entered know­ ing they were up against mightier
