2024 One Day Show

Our Show Report for our One Day Show held in Wadebridge

Our 2024 One Day Show Results and Report

On Sunday 18 August we held our 43rd One Day Show at the Shuttleworth Hall in Egloshayle, Wadebridge.  It was a nice sunny day with the occasional dark clouds but the rain stayed away.  It was great to see so many people visiting the show and enjoying a cuppa and a chat with all the exhibitors, growers and members of the committee.

We had over 200 entries which considering the weather in the lead up to the show was more than we had expected.  We also welcomed some new novice growers that had not showed at our one day show before and we hope that they enjoyed the experience.

The Presidents Trophy for most points in the main classes was awarded to Jackie Smith with the Trophy for the runner up most points being won by Roy Knight.  Jackie also won the Knight Trophy for Best Exhibit in Show with a vase of three blooms of Josudi Hercules a miniature cactus bred in Cornwall by the late Pete Greenway.

The bowl of nine or more dahlias class which is judged by the public was one by Pat Knight.  In fact two of Pats exhibits were joint First with Mike Bryant taking Third.

Most points in the Novice Classes was won by Graham Tape.

Our Peoples Dahlia Competition which is an ideal opportunity for anyone that grows dahlias (not for exhibition) to bring allow some blooms from the garden was won by Sue Kittle.  Second by Lynne Beabey and Third by Helen Gibson.

Prize cards were also awarded to Lynne Beabey, Mike Bryant, Ian Clemens, Helen Gibson, David Jasper, Lorraine Jasper, Sue Kittle, Roy Knight, Pat Knight, Steve Landles, Samantha Meyer, Nathan Mitchell, Tony Mitchell, Jackie Smith, Graham Tape, Clarence Thomas, Emily Webster and David Windsor.

The show was judged by Keith Hine, Ian Clemens and Cyril Watkins.

We would thank to thank all the exhibitors, visitors, volunteers and the committee for helping to make it a great day, everyone remarked on the great atmosphere and the fact that everyone was there to help and advise.  It will not be long before we start the planning for our 2025 One Day Show.

Some photos from the day and the full results listing are show below.
