Bunclody Horticultural Society are delighted with their 62nd Annual

Show. It went off brilliantly. The Society would like to thank all who

participated and those who turned out to steward and helped with the

setting up. No mean trick. Many thanks also goes to James Murphy and

the BOM of Bunclody VEC for their marvellous cooperation. Thanks also

to our many sponsors and advertisers, without whom the Show would

never have gotten off the ground.

Miller, Garden Judge, and Ian Hodges, photographer of gardens, will

present an evening showing photos of gardens visited and Robert will

talk us through the various attractive garden features. Thurs, Sept

19, Redmonds, 8pm.
