Natland & Oxenholme Flower Show 08: Full Report

Building on the success of the 2007 Show, Natland's Village Hall committee launched a 2nd Show on 19th July - with as pleasing success as last year. Almost 150 people attended and shared a happy community afternoon.

Flower and Domestic classes were well supported and there were considerably more entries for the Floral Art class, in which there were some lovely and delightful exhibits

A Handicrafts' class was introduced this year and this included a woodturning section in which there were some exciting exhibits.

The Photography section proved very popular and again there were some exciting and imaginative interpretations of the themes.

A plant stall outside the Hall was organised and this added considerably in spirit to the success of the Show.

Natland and Oxenholme Flower Show 08

The photographs are the winners of each category.

Unfortunately, due to the light conditions and reflections, these images do not do the entrants justice and we are hoping to obtain electronic copies of the winning photos in time for the full report.
