27 Dec The prizes, cups and shields.

The prizes for winning exhibits at the Show come from the Show sponsors. Some of these are growers and some of them are businesses or supporters of the Show. The grandest is the ‘Best in Show’ cup that is awarded across all classes of produce. It was donated by Councillor Quillam (who has sadly passed away), who was a great supporter of all of the allotments. Because the Show is affiliated with the Royal Horticultural Society, we also award an annual Banksian Medal, to the exhibitor with the highest number of points in the Horticultural sections, that is, the Vegetable, Fruit and Flower Growing Sections.
