Summer Show 2024

Four hundred visitors came to Nailsea School on 3 August to see our Summer Show. The school was filled with colour with high quality exhibits in all sections of the show.

Exhibitors coped with all that the weather could throw at them and brought really good entries to the show. Haydn Grove was awarded best exhibit in the horticultural classes for a trug of high quality vegetables. Margeret Newton was awarded the RHS Banksian Medal for her success in a wide range of cut flower and pot plant classes.

The members’ classes were very well supported with lots of entries in the pot plant classes for the plants supplied by the Society.

There were very high quality entries in the cookery, handicrafts, photography and floral art sections, with some very nice entries from children.

All visitors enjoyed the homemade teas and cakes provided by Society members

There was some concern when members of the Filton Community Brass Band were held up in traffic on the M5 but all eventually arrived and played at their usual high standard. Their performance helps to provide a friendly, traditional flower show atmosphere.

Volunteer

Both our flower shows rely on volunteers. You can keep alive the great tradition of Flower Shows in Nailsea. Volunteers are needed for all sorts of activities: moving tables to help set up the show, stewarding with judges, selling raffle tickets, helping to serve teas and cakes etc etc. If you think you can help, please let us know.
