The P/F Championship attracted six entries and it was a very close call between them all.
Trevor Hogg’s vase of twelve Bill Seagrave just pipped Billy Bonas vase of twelve Lynne Earl, with Brian Duffy breathing down their necks in third with a vase of twelve Crompton Princess.

Trevor also won the Best Bloom Award which is from the same vase.
Next to the twelve Bill Seagrave above is the runner up, a vase of twelve Lynn Earl exhibited by Bill Bonas.
Eddie Bonas won the Woodfield trophy from a class which had six entries, making it once again a very close call as there were some very good blooms on display.

That's it for another show year and that just leaves me on behalf of the GNCS with thanking all for helping make our shows such a success, especially Dobbies staff who take time out to help and a special thanks to the Judges, Barrie Gamble, Phil Cross,Peter and Kathy Booker,Fay Seagrave and Keith Mastaglio.
