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.
