THE annual show was held at Zion Chapel Schoolroom on August 16.Mayor and Mayoress of Carmarthen, Mr and Mrs Alan Speake, wereguests of honour and the Mayor was invited by club chairman, AdrianNicholls, to officially open the show.
All nine sections of the show were well supported with verystrong entries in the fruit, vegetables, cookery and floral artclasses.
The club secretary, Jean Long, invited the mayor and mayoress topresent the cups, shields and trophies to the section winners. GwynDavies won the perpetual cup in the vegetable section and he alsowon the shield for the best exhibit in the show; he was equallysuccessful with his impressive display of hand-made walking sticksand exquisite cut flowers; a remarkable solo effort representingmonths of hard work and dedication. Mair Baston won the cookerychallenge cup in the keenly contested cookery section. ElvetRichards showed that he had lost none of his woodwork skills on thelathe and at the work-bench. The floral art and pot plants sectionswere truly spectacular. The specimen plants were as majestic as thefloral displays were breath-taking and Lynne Phillips was loudlyapplauded as she came forward to receive her two shields. Entries inthe paintings and photographic section were down on last year butstandards were maintained, with Mary Davies and Alan Barnham sharingthe honours with their photographic entries, whilst DV Davies wassuccessful in the three paintings categories.

The chairman thanked all who hadexhibited or helped in any way and said the club appreciated thedonation of the numerous raffle prizes.
