The society staged a stand at the Durham Flower Show within the grounds of Houghal College and the stand won a Gold Medal. The show which includes many flower and vegetable classes was a huge success and the society sold many Pinks which helped swell the society coffers.
On the bank holiday Monday Blackhall held their annual show, once again there were many Carnation Classes and many exhibits; Trevor Hogg winning the vase of 12.
