As promised previously because it had a Northern judge, the much travelled Ian Tyler, here are a few photographs from the show at Hinton, Somerset.
Perhaps Ian, Derek and Jackie (and anyone else who reads this post) can add a few more details and perhaps send a few more photographs. It would be nice to see a photograph of the overall show and a few of the exhibitors.

How nice to see ‘Banker’ with good colour in the corona. I feel that far too many judges give it a Best Bloom award purely on size and form when it is totally lacking in its orange colour. However in this case it was obviously well worth its Best Exhibit award.
I am pleased to see how often Ian takes photographs of flowers at 45 degrees rather than full face. For trumpets and division 2 blooms in particular it gives a much better impression of the quality of the flower.
I have emailed some general pics from the Wessex Show you asked for.
The Six are the main class asking for 6 cultivars selected from Div 1 to 4, four divisions to be represented, they were shown by Evelyn Jane.

Thank you Ivor.
I think it helps when you can see general pictures of the show. I like the staging.
