Chairman Charles Ashby, who appreciated the remark, was one of those who amazed visitors with his wonderful blooms. He won the R.H. How Cup for best vase of nine blooms of any narcissi, one variety, and The Daffodil Society’s bronze medal for best vase in show.
The Daffodil Society’s certificate for best bloom in show went to Val Hodges, with her magnificent double bloom named Sherborne, and Alasdair MacCulloch won the K. Heryett Cup for most points in the daffodil and narcissi classes.

There was several children’s exhibits and each one was rewarded with a special prize of an Easter egg.
Steyning Flower Club members exhibited 11 wonderful floral arrangements and Steyning Camera Club had examples of their recent work on display.
Mr Ashby said it was a very interesting and entertaining afternoon for the many visitors. He thanked the committee and other volunteers for their hard work on the day.
“Without their contribution, we would not have such a wonderful flower show,” he added.
