The
weather
on
August
Bank
Holiday
was
good,
so
all
the
months
of
planning
paid
off
and
produced
a
wonderful
show.
It’s
not
just
me
saying
that!
We
had
plenty
of
feedback
from
various
sources
praising
all
aspects
of
the
Show.
I
was
very
impressed
with
the
enthusiasm
of
the
show
committee
members
and
the
huge
amount
of
work
they
put
in
to
the
preparations
and
staging
of
the
Show.
Attendance
was
good;
at
the
peak
buses
were
bringing
people
from
the
park
and
ride
every
10
minutes
or
so.
The
entries
in
the
horticultural
competitions
were
up
by
about
200
on
last
year
and
the
standard
was
very
high.
It
really
seemed
we
catered
for
all
the
family
and
the
Horticultural
Society’s
aim
of
encouraging interest in horticulture was achieved.
Our
Autumn
season
of
talks
began
with
an
informative
talk
by
Peter
Gregory
who
brought
us
up
to
date
on
recent
developments
in
the
genetics
of
fruit
and
also
at
Wisley
where
a
new
science
block
is
being
built
with
facilities for visitors as well as for RHS research staff.
Finally
don’t
forget
to
visit
the
hut
for
a
seed
catalogue,
garlic
and
onion
sets,
and
anything
else
you
need
for
your garden during autumn and winter.
