2017 Show Results
Llangynidr Garden Society Annual Show 2017
This was our 74th show and supported by over 260 entrants displaying over 750 exhibits. Many children enter the show with very good handwriting and wonderful craft items so thanks need to go to the adults who encourage them to have a go. We had many craft exhibits of a very high standard and the cooking section was well supported with cakes, swiss rolls, scones etc. The one class that won outright on the number of entries was our favoured limerick. The horticultural section was well supported with many ‘new to showing’ having a go and our flower section had some choice blooms.
The Rees family from Llanbedr did particularly well as Angela won the Novice Cup, the Best Vegetable in Section A and the Pam Free Memorial Trophy for Best Rose in show; Katie Rees won the Gilyeat Junior Craft Trophy and together they won the Family Trophy for the most points gained by parents and children. John Sullivan of Penpergwm won The Mary Potter Cup for the most points in the flower section, The Howard Llewelyn Cup for the highest points in Section B (horticulture) and the RHS Banksian Medal for the largest sum of money won. The runner up to the Howard Llewelyn Cup was Craig Burdon from Talybont – on -Usk. Gil Chambers of Llangynidr won the Sandeman Cup for the highest Points in B for a Llangynidr Resident and Best Flower in Section B. The runner up to this was Alf Dobbs of Llangynidr. The Lady Feddan Rose Bowl for the most points in the rose classes was won by Heather Richards of Llangynidr. The Forster Challenge Cup for the mammoth marrow was retained by Grant Barlow again, of Llangynidr. Jean Dunning of Llangynidr won the Fuchsia Cup; Julie Ellis, The Ford Cup for Floral Art and Ann Jessop The Giles Cup for the most points in the domestic and craft sections, both from Llangynidr. Jennifer Morgan of Abergavenny won the Garden News Top Vase Award and the National Sweet Pea Award with her husband Lewis Morgan had the Best Vegetable entry in Section B. The Best Flower entry in Section A was won By Helen Harries from Llangynidr and The Mc Donald’s Nursery Perpetual Cup for the winner of the collection of vegetables was won by Hilary Barratt in Llangynidr.
The Llangynidr Garden Society Cup for the most points in the domestic Section was won by Helen Phillips of Llangynidr and The Llangynidr Garden Society Cup for the most points in the Craft Section by Chris Vulliamy of Llangynidr who also won The Gilyeat Craft Trophy for the best woodwork exhibit. Bev Rolley of Llangynidr won the Silver Dish award for the best exhibit in the domestic section and Catherine Davies, visiting from Coventry won the WI Trophy for the best exhibit in the craft section.
In the youth categories, Aled Davies won The Moesan Cup for best exhibit for the 5 -6 yrs classes, Sarah Spalding won The Joan Hughes Memorial Award for the best exhibit for the 7 -8 yrs classes and Georgina Hill won The Eddie Davies memorial Cup for the best exhibit for the 9 - 10 yrs classes.
