Autumn 2019
.
Thank
you
to
all
of
you
who
volunteered
and
made
the
Emsworth
Show
a
success
in
our
centenary
year.
Special
thanks
to
Faith
Ponsonby,
chair
of
the
show
committee,
who
masterminded
the
move,
and
to
Jan
Butler
who
organised
the
marquee
which
is
at
the
heart of the show for the EHS.
Our
autumn
programme
got
off
to
a
jolly
start
with
a
visit
to
the
Bombay
Gin
Distillery
near
Whitchurch,
followed
by
tour
round
Hardy’s
Cottage
Garden
Plants
with
Rosy
Hardy
and
a
chance
to
buy
her
lovely
plants.
More
jollity
was
in
evidence
at
the
entertaining
talk
given
by
Chris
Bird
about
apples
and
apple
growing.
At
the
Hut,
I’m
pleased
to
report
that
Colin
Beale
has
taken
over
as
Stock
Manager

charge

sets,

and
potatoes.
Jan
Butler
will
become
Volunteer
Manager

Planning
for
next
year
has
started
and
what
is
most
evident
is
that

need
more
volunteers
to
run
the
EHS

all
its
activities,
for
example
at
the
Hut,
the
Show,
working
on
the

delivering
newsletters, posters and organising events.
