Stourpaine Gardening Club Summer Show Saturday 14 September 2013
The Stourpaine Gardening Club held its 33rd annual summer show on Saturday, 14th September in Stourpaine Village Hall. As usual, the event was very well supported by exhibitors and visitors. In total 49 classes were entered by 47 exhibitors who provided 265 exhibits. Special thanks must go to Mrs Jean Chandler for organising the show, Pete and Jan Palmer for organising the schedule of classes and the judges who gave their time to attend the show. Thanks must go also to all those who submitted their entries to the show.

Twelve trophies were awarded for a variety of classes and the winners included Pete Palmer (four trophies), Robin Clarke (two trophies) and Carol Cutting, Ruth Pearce, Frank Tomes, Gyda Warren, Barrie Waterman and Margaret Williams (one trophy each).

A special mention must go to Mary Phipps who donated the CAPTAIN TREMBLE trophy in memory of her late husband, Martin Phipps who was a committee member and a strong supporter of the club. This trophy was awarded to Barrie Waterman, the overall winner of the Painting and Drawing classes. Robin Clarke swept the board by winning all five photography classes. He would like to dedicate his success to Martin Phipps who “taught me everything I know about photography”.
