Report from Hayle Rose and Cabbage - special congratulations to Jane Siddorn and Tina Wood for winning Best Kept Allotments

HAYLE ROSE & CABBAGE GARDENING CLUB

The 39th Annual Show on 23rd July at Hayle Day Care Centre. This year the Club was delighted to have the assistance of some of the members of Hayle Allotment Society. Their help was greatly appreciated, as there is quite of lot of effort involved in setting up the venue on the previous Friday evening. There is a small window of opportunity between the clients of the Day Care Centre leaving at 4 o’clock and the first exhibitors arriving at 7.00pm with their (hopefully) prizewinning entries. After our trial run at the new venue last year, i.e. the Day Care Centre instead of the huge marquee on the Recreation Ground, we realised that this year it would be possible to re-instate the Home Produce and Handicrafts sections, and we had some very good entries. We would like to thank Hayle Methodist Church and Angarrack Community Centre for the loan of their tables. As anyone who is involved with putting on an exhibition will tell you, this is the main concern - enough tables!

There were some stunning vegetables, lovely flowers and pot plants, Floral Art, handicrafts, home produce, and a photography section. We also judged gardens in Hayle and this year we included Public Houses Our thanks to Jane Mills who ran the café, and Dave Raymer who willingly turned up to lock up the Centre, to open it and close it on the Saturday and again on the Sunday.

And thanks to all our competitors and our visitors. We hope you enjoyed the Show.
