GFGS 7th Open Sweet Pea Show

The Federations 7th Open Sweet Pea Show was held at Shurdington Social Centre in conjunction with the Cotswold Fuchsia & Pelargonium Society’s Annual Show on Saturday 22nd July 2017.

Although entries were down, something to do with the weather again apparently, having said this, once again the Sweet Pea Show was a riot of colour, this year it was judged by Mr Ron King who has many years’ experience of growing, showing and judging sweet peas, he was assisted by Gill Hazell.

Mr & Mrs P Champion received the David Brownjohn Memorial Trophy for 'Best vase in Show' from GFGS Chairman Dr Dennis Sutton

Our thanks to the Cheltenham Horticultural Society for the loan of bikini vases for the sweet pea show.

As well as the sweet pea show the Cotswold Fuchsia & Pelargonium Society were also holding their Annual Show at the same venue, so two shows for the price of one!

Once again some quite spectacular fuchsias and pelargoniums were on show, so a difficult job for the judges.

These shows would not take place without all those who take the trouble to exhibit, to the winners congratulations and to the runners up better luck next time. We must not forget all those unsung heroes who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make these shows a success, so we say a big thankyou to the Show Secretaries Colin & Rosemary Smith and all members of the Cotswold Fuchsia & Pelargonium Society for providing refreshments, running the raffle, tombola, plant sales etc.
