Annual Dinner Dance
The Editor writes:
Once again this year’s dance proved to be an extremely popular affair
with nearly 120 people attending.
It seems that our small incentive scheme worked,
as there was an increase in membership of the society and
noticeably more Hurst residents at this year’s event.
Unfortunately I found my self incapacitated prior to the event and unable to help.
I therefore feel that I can, without any form of self congratulation,
say a big ‘well done’ to the many members of the society who gave up their
own time to decorate the village hall, dismantle the decorations early on
Sunday morning, run the bar and generally made the event the enjoyable success that it was.

Garden Competition
Robina Turner writes:
What was lacking in quantity of entries was more than compensated
for by the quality of the gardens.
The care and work that had been lavished on plots that, in some cases,
had little help from their surroundings in the way of established trees and shrubs,
was exemplary.
In the end the judges had to choose a winner and in a unanimous but very close decision,
first prize went to Mr & Mrs Chambers for their remodelled garden at ‘Westward Ho’.
Anne Whitby was second with her prolific collection of flowers
and third was Mrs Hopkins who has made a varied and imaginative garden out of a site that,
not so long ago, was running wild.
We had intended to hold the competition earlier in the season as we are
aware that holidays, not to mention the very warm early summer, meant that
some of you may have been reluctant to enter gardens, which you felt, were
past their best.
NEXT YEAR we really will try to have the competition much earlier so,
get your schemes planned and ensure your bulbs are planted
now!
