The 2026 Annual Show

​​​

The 2026 Annual Show was open to all plot holders and garden members and was held on Saturday, 5 September 2026. A barbeque and salad lunch was served outside the John Gray Centre just before the Show opened, to which everyone was welcome whether or not they were taking part.

​​​

Compared to previous shows, the schedule was simplified. There were five entry sections, including a fun! section, and two Cups were awarded - the President's Cup for the best exhibitor and the Wyevale Cup for the best exhibit in the Show, in the judges' assessment. As in prior years (follow the links for pictures of 2017's exhibits), there were sections for vegetables, fruit, flowers and herbs and home produce.

​​​

The Show Secretary was Val Morrison (on Plot 38A).
