Sir,
At a recent meeting of the committee of the Arran Horticultural Society, the main item for discussion was the summer show to be held on August 8 in the High School. The show schedule, which will be available before the end of July, was discussed and agreed.
It was noted that the schools, which normally participate in the spring show, had requested the availability of the children’s section in the schedule. We are very hopeful that this will result in increased entries in the this section this summer by members of youth organisations with whom we will be in contact. We are also hoping to see stronger entries in the industrial section, the wonderful skills are there, so please let us share them. Two classes we are flagging up in good time from the decorative section are, flower arrangement – Tutti Frutti and floral art – Jazz Festival. It may be noted that we are not hiring a coach to the Ayr Flower Show this year and it was noted that our membership still holds in the 80s, and that the Society’s finances are sound. Yours,
