Sunniest Sunflower Result and Presentation

The 'for fun' competition this year revolved around sunflowers, which seemed at one point a little ironic in view of how little the sun had shone. However, our overnight expert and independent judge Mr David Ling kindly availed us of his measuring tape and eagle eye on Friday to assess. There was still one undecided factor - what constitutes a winning specimen - it's height or the width of the head. On this basis we decided to award for both.

We are pleased to announce that Tony Holbrook was the winner of the tallest sunflower, and Pat Tilley the winner of the largest flower, congratulations to both and a big thank you to David Ling and Karen for their eagle eyed measurements.

The original plan was to provide a small presentation on Sunday 24th, however we suggest it may be more appropriate to combine this with the awards for the Allotment plot competition and propose to hold both presentations on Saturday 6th August at the trading hut for 11:00.
