No show will run well without its behind the scenes dream team, some of whom are seen here. Providing help and refreshment for exhibitors and the public, these are some of the unsung heroes who make Catforth a great show.
Tom Alty seen here putting the finishing tweaks to his exhibit in Class 1. Several exhibitors were unable to attend because of the snow but the show still made well over £200.00 for Cancer Research UK thanks to Tom's efforts and those of Andrew Clarke and others.
Given the late season and the weather there was a good display for the public to see.
Class 3 produced the best bloom, the Rapture in the centre of the right hand vase. It was close. There was another Rapture in the local classes almost as good.Peter Walker won this and other classes with some very clean flowers.
Only two entries in Class 2 and the big ones were much better than the little ones on this occasion.
Very nice Gold Velvet in class 3.
Enormous blooms of Demmo in Class 4. How it is classified as a division 2 I will never know.
Nice clean Trecarra in Division 3.
The art work by local pupils was extremely good. Some of them were only four years old, but their work already showed good control and imagination.
Class 17 showed the beauty of different cyclamineus types.
I was fortunate enough to steward for Judge Ian Tyler who gave every exhibit a good examination and was a fund of knowledge and expertise.I can really recommend stewarding as a great way to learn a lot more about your flowers, their likes and dislikes, their strengths and weaknesses.
Great report, Frank. Thanks for the support. Looking forward to seeing you at Tottington.
