Made with Xara Flower ShowNORTON & CHISELBOROUGH FLOWER SHOW 2011Setting aside for the moment all the details and statistics, we can reflect upon a wonderful weekend in August; super exhibits (with judges voting some of the best they had ever seen) in a new and more manageable marquee, sunny / hot weather (after a deluge in the morning!), wonderful attendance (refreshments & ice cream sales nearly exhausted supply), entertainment in the tent in the evening; and a splendid cricket match (with people rallying when Chiselborough were short of players). Then, as the shadows were lengthening across the recreation field a lovely Summer Songs of Praise service was held in the marquee.As Chair of the FS committee I am so grateful to all those people who contributed to the weekend in any way, be it exhibiting, putting up tables / chairs etc., running stalls, putting on whites and playing cricket, disposing of litter, or simply by attending; whatever your contribution, thank you very much indeed.
