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.

By the time you’re reading this, the schedules for the 2018 Bulb Show will be available in the village shop. I know next March seems like a long way off but if you get one now, you can plan and put away your preserves for next year. So far, I’ve made apple chutney and plum jam. It’s the first time I’ve made this jam with plums from our garden, although it didn’t set as much as I’d hoped. However, my son who is a chef in London, said that’s the way the French prefer their jam and so does he, […]

It may seem a long time away but, with fruit ripening, now is the time to make jams for entry in the Bulb Show. This year we are asking for Raspberry and Plum jam. Good Luck! Jane Wood

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 has received lots of positive comments, about the impact on all the senses, as people entered the hall, I think everyone will agree that it looked a picture. In a few weeks we will be having a meeting to plan and discuss next year’s show. We would welcome new members on the committee, or if anyone has any ideas or suggestions please get in touch with Di Somers or myself; we would love to hear from you. I promised a list of the winners this month so… • Naomi Gammon, Eloise Doble and Lawrence McFadden all won […]

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 […]
