Summer Rose and Floral Show
THE SUMMER ROSE AND FLORAL SHOW IN JUNE was a very enjoyable event, with more exhibitors and more visitors than for several years. The Mayor of Saffron Walden, Cllr. Deryk Eke, presented the awards. The Veerman Rose Bowl and the SWHS Cup for the best exhibit in the Rose Classes were won by Sharon Davey, who was also joint winner with David Livermore of the R.A. Butler Cup. Vera Willson (pictured) won the Russell Green Cup, the Walden Trophy and the Rickett Shield for her strawberries and other exhibits in the Domestic Classes. Peter Cranfield and David Livermore were joint winners of the Denning Bowl in the Fruit & Vegetable Section, and in the Junior Classes Chloe Hollidge won the Scrivener Cup, and Ariella Quantrill was the winner of the Caroline Dowling Award. Many thanks to Mike Baxter and David Livermore for the photographs
