August 2026 The Committee was saddened to hear of the death of our former chair and committee member Jackie Deadman. Jackie joined the committee in 1991 and served as an active committee member until 2015 including a term as committee Chair. After that, both she and her husband Max, who had also been treasurer and committee member, became honorary Vice-Presidents of the Show.

Jackie was a keen and talented flower arranger winning many cups for her floral displays. In 1996 both she and Penny Gaskill a fellow flower arranger, donated the “Novice Cup” to the show to encourage new entrants to exhibit at the show.

May 2026 The committee again shared a plant stall at the St Mary’s Flower Festival. Thanks to everyone who donated plants and to those who came along to buy some.
