Ashill & Holme Hale Garden Club<br />
At the 20<strong>16</strong> AGM Kevin Taylor-Ward sadly retired<br />
from the committee and was presented with a gift<br />
of a garden voucher in recognition of his excellent<br />
organisation of the flower show. Kevin has been<br />
instrumental in bringing about various changes to<br />
the show and his small team have agreed to carry<br />
on with the good work. Three new committee<br />
members were elected and David Green agreed to<br />
serve one last year as Chairman. The meeting also<br />
agreed to the creation of the position of President<br />
which will be filled at the 2017 AGM.<br />
As usual, the AGM was followed by the Fruit and<br />
Vegetable Show. There were fewer entries this year, partly<br />
because of the event being a month later than usual and<br />
partly because of the unseasonable weather. However,<br />
David Boggis, who judged the entries, was impressed<br />
enough to join the Garden Club that afternoon. Richard<br />
Leighton excelled this year winning four of the classes<br />
and was awarded Best in Show. Thanks go to Jackie and<br />
David Priestley for organising the event.<br />
