Payhembury Spring Bulb & Flower Show

Saturday 19th March 2.30 pm It’s nearly that time again, only a few weeks until the hall will be beautifully decorated with all the things we’ve grown and made. It is with regret that we say goodbye to Joy Morgan who has decided to stand down as Treasurer after many years. The committee would like to thank her for all her hard work (since the 80s!), not just dealing with the financial side but huge amounts of organisation too, fortunately, she has agreed to continue in a consultancy role. We have some new committee members which is great. Becky Gammon […]

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 […]

To be held on Saturday 14th May 2015 4.30-6.15 pm. All welcome. As it’s only a short time until the show, and a few people have told me they intend to enter for the first time, I thought I would just reiterate the rules for entering which can be found on the first page in the schedule. So, at the back of the schedule is an entry form which needs to be filled in and cut out. Please can you ensure that you use one entry form per person, otherwise, it gets very confusing for those trying to work out […]

On behalf of the Bulb Show committee I would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year. It’s only a couple of months now until the weather will start improving and the Bulb Show will be upon us. January is a good time to have another look at the schedule and see what you can do ahead of time. Getting the children to do some of their entries during these long winter evenings will give you less stress in March and keep them occupied, killing two birds with one stone! Jane Wood

      The Bulb Show Committee wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  

I hope you have all had a look at the schedules for next year’s show. I went to Otter Nurseries with Joy last week and we found all the bulbs needed for the growing classes. Now is the time to plant your hyacinths and daffodils ready to compete in next year’s show. Happy planting…

The schedules for next year’s show are now available. You can find them in the shop or pick them up from Louise Granger, Di Somers or me. Any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask and give me a ring on 841843. I hope your planning is going well and happy schedule perusing… Jane Wood
