The sun shone on the afternoon of 26th July, the occasion of the 122nd Badsey Flower Show. The Show was officially opened by Badsey Society member, John Dallimore, this year's recipient (jointly with brother, Will, who died in December) of the Tony Jerram award.
There was a lovely atmosphere, families having fun, lots of exhibits in the marquee, and good entertainment. At the Badsey Society stand, we welcomed many visitors, including Robin Sladden, great-grandson of Sir Julius Sladden, one of the founders of the Flower Show back in 1888 and James Archer, great-grandson of John Henry McDonald, a former Headmaster of Badsey Council School.
One of our many Badsey Society members who dropped by was Daphne Gisboure (née Salter), whose father, Edgar Salter, appears in a photo of The Wheatsheaf Darts Team 1949, which has recently been donated to the Society.
At the end of the show, Robin Sladden was invited to present the cups.
