Killearn Cottagers' Horticultural Society

Chairman Ian McGowan welcomes visitors to the 2009 show

Despite the very mixed weather during the spring and summer another successful Show was held on Saturday 29th August 2009. Our entries remain strong with over 700 entries on the day. A super effort by everyone who exhibited.

The Committee would like to thank all the exhibitors from near and far who supported the Show. Whether it was two entries or twenty your efforts are gratefully appreciated.

The trophy and major prizewinners are listed below along with some photos of their exhibits; more pictures of the day can be seen on the photos page.
