Brightly coloured dahlias were some of the stunning exhibits at this year’s Autumn Show of the Ewhurst Horticultural Society on Saturday 14 September in the Village Hall.

Alan Moody won all seven of the dahlia classes and also took the Dilley Cup for Best Exhibit in the Flower and Pot Plants Section.

Anne Dyball retained the two cups she won last year, the Norris Cup for most points in the Vegetable and Fruit Section, and also the Spence Cup for most points in Home Fare.

Richard Munford was also a cup winner for most points in Flowers and Pot Plants securing the Geoff McQuire Shield.

Cranleigh Masons presented two new awards of £10 each for the Best Vegetable Exhibit, won by Andrew Lock for his impressive leeks, and Best Bloom in Show, won by Alan Moody for one of his beautiful dahlias.

Despite an improvement in entries in the Floral Art Section in recent shows, sadly these classes were not well supported this year.
