This
photograph
is
the
earliest
in
our
archives,
taken
in
the
1950s
at
the
Annual
Show
of
the
Emsworth
and
District
Allotments
and
Gardens
Association,
in
the
British
Legion
Hall.
We’d
like
to
know
who
these
chaps
are
and
also
ask
if
any
of
the
EMS
readers
have
other
photos
or
memorabilia
from
the
early
days
of
the
EHS.

EHS Archives and the Centenary Year - 2019
The
Emsworth
Horticultural
Society
began
in
1919
with
the
Allotment
Association.
In
our
2018
exhibition
celebrating
the
history
of
the
Emsworth
Show,
we
trawled
the
archives
for
material,
which
had
been
usefully
organised
by
Suzanne
Holroyd
and
stored
by
the
museum.
Chris
Shaw
also
searched
through
Portsmouth
News
articles
stored
on
film,
held
by
Portsmouth
Library
and
West
Sussex
Gazette
in
Chichester.
Even
so,
records
were
hard
to
come
by
—
especially
visually
interesting
material
such
as
photographs.
It
was
not
until
well
into
the
new
millennium,
when
digital
cameras
began
to
be
more
widely
used,
that
photographs
appeared
in
significant
numbers.
And
it
is
only
comparatively
recently
that
people
have
thought
about
storing
digital
photographs
on
their
computers or even more recently, online.
The
EHS
would
be
interested
to
see
any
photographs
you
may
have,
whether
printed
or
digital,
of
EHS
gardening
events,
outings
and
trips,
open-gardens,
shows
(for
example
of
your
winning
entries!)
or
other
EHS
events
you
may
have photographed. Do you have interesting stories to tell of any of the EHS events?
In
addition
the
EMS
newspaper,
which
is
delivered
4
time
a
year,
would
be
interested
in
reports
and
articles
about
EHS events. We would like copies too.
We
can
easily
make
copies
and
credit
the
photos
and
stories.
Clearly
it
would
be
helpful
if
we
knew
when
the
event
took place (at least to the nearest year!)
If you can help, contact
Chris Shaw 01243 377459,
EHS digital archivist.
Help needed at the Hut
We’ve
lost
a
few
stalwart
helpers
this
year
and
are
looking
for
new
volunteer
cashiers
and
servers.
Cashiers
write
out
the
orders,
handle
money
and
enrol
new
members.
Servers
collect
from
the
shelves,
measure
textiles,
weigh
out
non-chemical
products
and
lift
and
carry
items
(up
to
25kg)
to
cars
if
needed.
Knowledge
of
horticulture
and
products
is
helpful
too.
If
you
are
interested
or
would
like
to
know
more
please
make
yourself
known
at
the
hut,
or
contact
Lyn
Davies
on
01243
373810
or

emshorticultural@gmail.com.
