what will be the end. product? Other attractions

novice trophy. Held at St James’s School in Greenacre Street,


A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD boy took an adult trophy at this year’s Clitheroe Garden Club annual show. Joseph Duckworth’s pumpkin won the adult


the event attracted more recorded entries than ever and also saw a record 75 classes. The chil­ dren’s challenge - to grow and paint a “Russian Doll” proved too much for many, with reports coming in of the demise of the plants. However, those that did succeed produced a colourful dis­ play, along with work in other children’s classes. Until 10-30 a.m. on the day, exhibitors staged


their exhibits, turning the hall into a huge harvest festival.


Seven judges then spent one-and-a-half hours


scrutinising entries and awarding prizes. Following judging, there was a buffet lunch pro­


vided by club treasurer Carol O’Reilly. By the time the cash prizes and trophy winners


had been worked out, it was time to let the public in. And for the next two hours there were plenty of visitors to the exhibits and refreshment room.


J In his address, club chairman Mr Bill Gregson


thanked all those involved in the show in any way. He mentioned the headteacher and governors of the school for their help and co-operation, the exhibitors, judges, those who had helped before and during the show, and those present. The prizes were presented by the club’s hon­


orary president, Mrs Cissie Sainsbury. She has been involved with the club continuously in numerous roles since its foundation in 1972 and her late husband, Geoff, was a founder member and long-time chairman. The 2004 RHS Banksian Medal Winner, David Harrison, had most overall points again, but


under the society’s rules he is not eligible to win again until next year. Following the raffle, exhibitors donated pro­ duce to the auction with the proceeds given to the


children of the school for their Christmas activi­ ties. Club members want to thank Sylvia and Stephen Berry who hosted a coffee evening and


open garden event which raised most of the funds for the show.
