The King Edward Hall was again the venue of a very successful Lindfield Horticulture Society Flower and Produce Autumn Show. The colour provided by the flowers on show there and in the Jubilee Room was a sight to behold and the large amount of produce and handicraft displayed was of the highest standard,

Visitors to the Show voted Jenny Purdon’s display in the inaugural One Hour Imposed Flower Arrangement competition.

 

All the exhibitors, including the following prize winners should be congratulated for yet again making the Newcombe Hall look so spectacular:-
