Flower Show

The morning of Saturday 22nd July dawned bright and clear, but as the morning progressed, dark clouds threatened and, an hour before the Flower Show was due to start, the heavens opened. By the time the 115th Show opened at 1 pm the rain had stopped and people were able to enjoy the exhibits for an hour or two before the rain began again. As well as The Badsey Society stand, this included a display of gravity-defying BMX riding, the Spa Strummers Ukulele Group and St Andrew’s Pipe Band.
