Dittisham Horticultural.Homecraft & Handicraft Society

Annual Show Saturday 31^st. July 2010

One year perhaps we will have perfect weather before our annual show. Last year it was too much rain, this year we had a very cold start to the growing season and then a long dry spell, followed by some rain. This was good for the vegetables but bad for the flowers. Despite this the total entries were slightly up on last year with the vegetables well up and flowers predictably down.

Over 90 people paid £2.00 at the door. Children were free and all enjoyed a generous tea and cakes.

Many thanks to Ron Travers for judging of the limerick and the presentation of the prizes .

The Limerick this year was won by Felix Rose:-

“When the Judges arrived at the Hall

  There was nobody in there at all

  Not one plum, not one bean

  No cheese scones could be seen

  All had left on “The World” for a tour”.
