Hi Jesse
Maybe you can help us weare the National Fruit Show which is a Trade Show for Commercial Fruit Growers and takes place in October at the Agricultural Showground in Kent. This year organisers along with the many traditional top and soft fruit competitions have a competition for amateur growers of pumpkins. The pumpkin with the biggest girth will win £200 and be presented with the cheque on Wed 18 Oct 2006. Could you spread the word. Info can be found at
www.nationalfruitshow.co.uk

Secretary, your link doesn't work for me.
Andy, I'm sure there'll be another comp next year if someone volunteers to organise it. Shame you forgot to photograph it, can you not get back to the school and get a piccie? :)
