BRAMSHOTT, Liphook and District Horticultural Society held their final show of the year on Saturday.

Despite the difficult weather conditions during the summer months, the society’s members still managed to exhibit a good selection of vegetables, flowers and plants.

The longstanding cookery judge, Mary Harvey, has decided to retire after 18 years of judging the cookery classes, and the committee presented her with a colourful display of autumn flowering plants in a pot.

John Gilbert won four prizes, including best in show and best vegetable for his exhibition shallots.

Ann Haussauer pulled off a hat-trick, winning both the dahlia medals and the Countess of Brecknock Cup for being the most successful exhibitor in the flower classes.

Another floral champion was Jenny Blake, who won the Reg Elliott trophy for her entry in the cut flowers (three distinct kinds) and the Floral Cup for her ‘birthday posy’ and ‘harvest time’ displays.

Other successful cup winners included Robert Ilsley, Katrina and Sarah Bicknell and Olivia Stilwell.
