Summer Flower Show 2022


Sadly, it seems like the Flower Show will be the last one to be held at St Paul’s. We have had many wonderful shows there and this year’s was another. Every year our members think that with adverse weather conditions, their exhibits will not be good, but as usual, we had a splendid selection of sweet peas and roses. The popular vases of mixed flowers were also of a very high standard. This year, potted plants were moved from our annual show to the flower show. This gave them more room to be shown and there was a really good selection. The Art Show received more entries this year and the standard was very high.
This year the show was open to the general public but with many other events on the same day, we did not get as many people as we would have liked. Those that came, with our members, their families, and friends, enjoyed strawberries and cream and the awards presentation made by Enfield’s mayor Doris Jiagge, who was so impressed that she asked to be involved with the Annual Show as well.

Annual Show 4th Sept. 2021

Wow! Probably one of the best Shows the Society has had in recent memory.

Attendance was about 90 members and 40 visitors, and we also signed up 3 new members on the day. We are victims of our own success with so many entrants – 36 including 8 first timers, and one junior entry. Nearly 300 exhibits and too little space and time to get everything done, but we did it all just in time.
Everyone did so well and Cllr Terence Neville who gave out the trophies and vouchers, was extremely impressed. He said a few very nice words and flowers were presented to him by Milo and Seren Oliver and he then pulled the numbers for our raffle, after which we had our usual frantic auction of donated exhibits, including vegetables, flowers, cakes and preserves.

A big thank you to everyone that attended and helped set up, run the kitchen, and serve the cakes and a big thank you to all the cake makers.
Some of the cakes could have won a prize in the Show!
