Autumn show
2012
An excellent Autumn Gardening
Show was held in the Abbots Langley Community Centre on Saturday 8th
September where there were a record number of entries, 430, a record number of
entrants 48 and a large increase in photographs and cookery than last year. The
Secretary Jane Lay said “That we almost run out of tables to put all the
entries on this year. The weather has been exceptional with the early wet cold
and then since the Olympics we have been saved as the sun came out to ripen
fruits and encouraged flowers to bloom.
“A big thank you to all those
who took part as without them we would not have had a very good day”.
The Society are now looking
forward to the Spring Show on 30th March 2013 as well as a very busy
social calendar in the Manor House Sports and Social Centre where the Society
holds social meetings every 3rd week in the month from September to
May. Guests are very welcome to come along.
