NEWS by Christine Bone
After a turbulent period when meetings, visits and shows have been cancelled we were delighted to hold our Annual Produce Show on Sunday 6 September 2020.
Emma and Paula did an amazing job of organising a show that complied with the Covid -19 regulations.
Entry to the Standlake Village Hall was limited to 30 people at any time, hand sanitizer, face masks, one way markings on the floor, separate entrance and exit allowed visitors to safely view the exhibits. Unfortunately, we were unable to have a raffle, serve refreshments or hold presentations to the winners but visitors were still able to enjoy the wide range of exhibits.
We were fortunate that we had a warm sunny afternoon and the sun streamed through the windows to illuminate the floral entries. After viewing the show visitors were able to mingle on the large patio outside the hall – socially distanced of course! Many thanks to the exhibitors and supporters for all their efforts – without their entries there would not have been a show.
The winner of the most points at the annual show was Eva Rogers who received the Cyril Collins Cup. A full list of trophy winners can be found on the club website.
Happy gardening; stay safe and well!
