This year's show (which also includesThe National Gladiolus Society Northern Exhibition 2012) takes place on Saturday 18th August at Hartlepool Borough Hall. As well as a full range of flower and veg classes there are 6 classes for novice exhibitors. We also run a childrens section and this year for he first time we will also be running a homecraft baking section.

Hi there!  it's nice to see something about Hartlepool on here!  Sadly, we will miss the show, but for the very good reason that we will be in Sweden visiting our son and daughter-in-law.  Do you have an allotment in Hartlepool?

Never mind Gwyneth you can always come and see the winners before they get benched

Not any more unfortunately. I had to give it up as I just didn't have the time to cultivate it. Now I make do with my garden. I'm still a member of the fuchsia and pelegonium society though. Along with my mum and sister we do all the admin and paperwork for the show. I normally steward during the judging but this year for the first time I'm going to judge the fuchsias. I willhave an experienced judge going round with me though to help and guide me
