10 Clitherpe Advertiser & Times, September 11th, 2003 Show full of blooms


WHAT is fast-becoming the North’s most prestigious Horticultural Show - Chipping Flower Show was held at Chipping Village Hall on Sunday, attracting well over 400 quality vegetables and flower exhibits from all over the north west. If the success of the show continues to grow, “South-


port” could quite well find its success prunedl Clitheroo Companies - James Alpe, NFU Mutual Insurance, Jimmy Clitheroe’s Cafe and Rufus Carr were among many others who kindly sponsored the show enabling total prize monies on offer topping £700, thereby enabling a “special prize” to be issued to the winner of everyone of the 66 classes in the schedule, including a rocking chair donated by Berrys Chairworks for the winner of the basket of. dahlias. These monies also meant that the society was able


to award National Society Medals for most meritori­ ous exhibits in each section.Top national judges, including Mr Gerald Treweek of the National Veg­ etable Society, Mr A. Pacey of the National Chrysan­ themum Society and Mr E. Anderton of the National Gladioli Society, heaped praise on the exceptionally high standard of entries considering the growing sea­ son had been cut short resulting in the entries being down on last year’s 600. Two of the national judges were returning for a sec­


ond year after being awe-struck with the quality entries last year. Visitors entering the Memorial Hall had their breath taken away by the colourful displays and the sizes of the blooms filling the hall for the show, which among growers who had travelled from places as far removed as Crosshills to Kendal and Liverpool to Bolton, is now billed as the “best in the north west.”


Many of these blooms, were distributed to the senior


citizens of Chipping directly after the show. The show could not happen, firstly without the generosity of all its sponsors, further details of which can be found on the website - www.chippingflowershow.co.uk, but also, not without the enthusiasm and teamwork of all the committee members, who are harnessed together by their hardworking joint secretaries - Mr Frank Hoyle and Mr John Bentham. The society’s show is always held on the first Sunday


in September and would welcome more entries from the Ribble Valley in the future. Prizes were presented by Mr and Mrs Laurie Harrison and the main show results were as follows..
