Description

With the theme of Sussex by the Sea, many of the classes have reflected our county and the seaside in the Floral Art and Home Produce classes.

The committee are planning another hands-on flower arranging evening at a date closer to the show. Look out for details.

A new class 23a, a model of a well-known person using vegetables, was suggested to add a bit of fun to the show. Look out for politicians and film stars. Great to use that spiraliser.
