Caversham Horticultural Society
Autumn Show 2003 Results
13th September 2003
For the second year running we held our Autumn Vegetable and Flower
Show within the Caversham Festival in Westfield Road Park.
It was another huge success, with lots of entrants especially in the Domestic
and Children's Garden classes. The weather was again very kind to us and
the sun shone down on our tent and we had lots of visitors.
