Payhembury Spring Bulb & Flower Show
The Spring Bulb and Flower Show was founded by members of the Payhembury Women’s Institute in 1962, but run independently of that organisation, so 2013 saw the 50th Anniversary. This is because the 39th show had to be cancelled in 2001 due to the Foot and Mouth restrictions.

The hall looked beautiful on show day thanks to the concerted efforts of all those who displayed exhibits, and it smelled pretty good too. Thank you to all those who entered – without you there would be no show, and it proved yet again that there are a lot of talented Payhembrians out there. I would like to thank the committee first and foremost; for some it was their first show and everyone rose to the challenge and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. Also to Jo Vincent, Joan Jarvis, Julie Moore, Pat Holdaway and all the committee children who helped in one way or another. […]

It was a lovely show this year, and the hall looked fabulous as ever with the golden daffodils and all the tasty food. It is obvious that there are a lot of talented people in Payhembury when you walk around admiring the exhibits. Unfortunately there were fewer entries than last year and less people in attendance. This could be due to a number of contributory factors, such as the fact that it was Mothering Sunday the following day and people were away, there was a craft fair in Broadhembury at the same time and one of the reasons was definitely […]

Our 50th show was a great success, despite the fact that Joy could not be with us to due to ill health. We really missed her and wish her a speedy recovery. As usual, the hall looked and smelled wonderful, and the standards in each class were very high. It was fantastic that Betty Johns could open the show, she is the Chair and has been a part of every single one of the fifty shows which I’m sure you’ll all agree is a great feat of longevity. She welcomed everyone and gave out the cups and did a fabulous […]
