Spring show on Saturday

Umina Garden Club will be holding its annual Spring Show on Saturday, September 25.

The Spring Show will run from 11.30am until 4pm at Woy Woy Meals on Wheels Hall, opposite Roger's Park.

The floral exhibition will be open to the public from 11.30am.

Visitors will be able to see all the best exhibits from Umina Garden Club members with sections also open to the general public.

Umina Garden Club president Ms Rachel Perkins said the garden club had been running since 1964.

Ms Perkins said there were many fine gardeners on the Peninsula and the club would welcome their expertise as garden club members.

She said they had decided to change the format of the show by making it a bit more of a gala event.

The club had contacted some local businesses hoping for donations for a sausage sizzle and refreshments.

This year the club is also including a new section called Secret Men's Business, which Ms Perkins hopes will encourage the men of the area to "show us their blooms".

Entries are to be staged by 10am with judging to commence at 10.30am.

Admission is $3 which includes lunch.

The day will include raffles, a lucky door prize, a trash 'n' treasure stall and books for sale.

Entries for the contest close by 9pm on September 23.

Anyone who would like to exhibit in a section open to the general public, donate to the Umina Garden Club or are looking for information and conditions of entry can contact Betty Cadwallader on 4322 0830.
