BLADEN SOCIAL CLUB

This year’s Horticultural
Show, and the supper
and quiz night that
followed, were well
supported. There were
36 entrants who
displayed 241 exhibits in
this year’s show, a slight
decrease from the last
show in 2019, but
considering the very dry
and hot weather this
y e a r a n d t h e
consequent adverse
effect on flowers
produce a fine turnout.
However despite the
prevailing situation there were a large number of prize winners, only two entrants
didn’t receive a prize, which rather proves the point “that to win it you have to
enter it”.

The Horticultural show is now in its 51 year if we discount the two years of the
st
Covid pandemic when it was not possible to hold a show and it was very pleasing
to see old and some new entrants supporting the show:
