Tatton Show

Post by Liz M »

A reminder that the Tatton Show, in Cheshire, starts this week on Wednesday 21st July until Sunday 25th July. The Macclesfield branch are putting on a display again this year and we would love to see any members of the society or Forum members. We are in the Floral Marquee, this year, along with all the Nurseries and I have seen Craig House Cactus and Southfield Nursery in there, so well worth a visit.

We got a Silver award for our display, it was disappointing after all the effort we put into it. Next year we will work harder and maybe do better. Here is a closeup of the display, see what you think.

Thanks for that Geoff, several others were surprised that we only got Silver.
