Ynyswen Gardening Club Annual Fower Show

Our annual village flower show was held at Ynyswen Welfare Hall last Sunday 1st September.  We had a good crowd of people, partly thanks to the complimentary tickets we gave out. Thanks to everyone for buying raffle tickets. Thanks to the ladies for serving lunch to all of us and manning the tea bar. Thanks to our members for erecting the tables and taking them down again. Thanks to all the exhibitors.  Thanks to Dennis Price and my wife Margaret for all the administration. Thanks to Mike Thompson for taking the photos. Thanks to Kay for those lovely cakes and tarts.  I ate my share as usual.  I hope I haven't left anyone out
