Well over 2000 visitors came to view and give their opinion of the beautiful arrangements made by Kent members at  the 2026 Area Show - " Cirque Du Fleurs". Despite the heat the flowers held up well. Thanks go to:
WMH leisure - especially Richard who provided the space, all the hoarding and tables for us free of charge. Our gratitude is enormous.
The organising team, led by Anna Ardolino, who was praised by a previous show organiser for the class titles which produced such a colourful display.
Verity and Nicola Prior for the Tombola. They collected for, arranged and were in attendance for most of the time during the three days of the show. The proceeds go to funding the expenses of the show.
Our sponsors, who can be found  on the results  post on 'Whats on'/Area Show
All those who came along to steward and chat to the visitors about our great hobby
