Plotholders and Garden Members gathered today for the highlight of the CPAGA year - the Annual Show and BBQ.
CPAGA was honoured that Geoff Hyde of London in Bloom again attended to judge exhibits and present the cups.
Images of many of the fruit, vegetables, flowers, home produce and photograph presented by entrants under the 41 classes of the Show are available on the CPAGA web site.
Many thanks to everyone who participated and worked to make the day such a success.
