HELMDON GARDENING CLUB
PROUDLY PRESENTS
HELMDON FLOWER
AND PRODUCE SHOW
2012
SATURDAY 18th AUGUST 2012
TO BE HELD IN
THE READING ROOM, HELMDON
2pm until 5pm

Welcome to The Show
Helmdon Gardening Club is delighted to announce the 3rd Flower and Produce Show.
Last year we were able to make a donation to The Toilets for
Africa appeal, and this year our 2 charities will be Katherine
House Hospice, and The Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.
As you know, it’s a fairly informal affair, although there are some rules of course! We hope there is something for everybody in the village to enjoy. It was great to see lots of new names entering last year – and we hope for more!
You will notice that we have made a few class changes and additions to keep things interesting – some with a Jubilee theme
– and some to hopefully get some more chaps entering the cookery classes.
Anyone resident in Helmdon and Falcutt, past and present pupils of Helmdon School and Acorns pre-school and members of the
Gardening Club are able to enter.
On the day of the show we will have teas and yummy cakes on sale
– and an auction of exhibits at the end.
So get those green fingers working, allotments digging, those recipes testing, and children’s imaginations racing and please –
Support the show!
Thank You
The Show Committee
