Caterham is blooming
Caterham's 120-year old Horticultural Society is holding its spring show on 27 April. It takes place at Hillcroft School, Chaldon Rd, Caterham. The show will open to the public from 14.00, with presentation of cups and medals at 16.30. The entrance fee is a recession-busting 40 pence!The show is timed perfectly. Unseasonable weather means daffodils and tulips are blooming later than usual this year. Society Chairman Debbie Fox is anticipating a big bunch of entries. She said 'We have some exciting additional categories in our horticultural shows this year. I invite every local gardener, flower arranger and home-baker to enter something into the show. We value all the entries and I'd like to see more entries from children and young people.'Caterham Valley Parish Council is sponsoring an exciting new category to the show. One lucky school class or youth organisation (ages 6 - 16 years); will win £25 for their display of flowers or handicrafts. This must be their own work. This year the Society is also looking for the best young local gardener aged 16 - 21 years old. It has introduced the Roy Skelton Cup.
