As I sit to pen my 19th report of the DFHS show, looking back over the years I see a wide coverage of clubs across the Dorset area and beyond, including:
- Blandford
- Bockhampton
- Broadwey and Upwey
- Dorchester
- Ferndown
- Iwerne Minster
- Mere
- Redlynch
- St Andrews Preston
- Studland
- Sturminster Newton
- Tarrant Valley
- West Moors
- Wimborne
- Wyke Regis
At this year’s show, at Tarrant Keyneston, we welcomed entries from Tarrant Valley but were missing those from Ferndown. The hall looked full of good quality blooms and exhibits. Thankyou to all that helped with the setting up and dismantling and also our judges and stewards. Many thanks to Sue Billington for the bacon butties, cakes, teas and coffee enjoyed by all throughout the day.
We look forward to seeing you in 2025.
