A Foreword from our Chairman
Welcome to the schedule for our Summer Show 2017. This year it is the
75th Anniversary of the setting up of Cheltenham Horticultural Society.
Because of this we have made some changes to the schedule to reflect
the year 1942 and the huge efforts people made to grow their own food
and cope with food shortages.
We have tried to include items in each section that reflect the food that
was grown, the food that was prepared and items made during these
difficult times. For example: a pair of parsnips, a low sugar and low fat
carrot cake and an embroidered tray cloth.
Do have a look and see what you are able to bring along to the show. We
still have all your favourite categories so let’s make this a show worthy
of our anniversary.
