Then Chris announced the winner of the best society display which was for the second time Staverton Bonsai Group.
There was a tie for the best in show voted by public between Ian Duff with his Maple and Ade Taylor with his Satsuki. They will share the trophies. Novice shield went once again to Mike Bryan.
We were a few down on last year but with the weather so hot it probably was to be expected.
