The
Dalgety Bay
Horticultural Society Annual Show takes place in September of each
year. This is an occasion of maximum effort for the Society and is
important because apart from attracting show entries from all over the
region, it also is the best opportunity for the Society to come into
contact with the local community.
The
event
follows
traditional show practice with many categories for entrants which are
previously set out in a "show schedule". These are for grown plants and
vegetables, home preserving, baking, knitting and other crafts.
Show
judges are invited to
choose the winners and prize money and cups are formally presented to
winning entrants.

As well as
participating
entrants, the show is opened to the public in the afternoon so they can
see at first hand the quality of the exhibits. Tea, coffee and home
baking are also available as well as a 'Trade Tent'.
The
Society usually takes
over the community centre, the two church halls and the Hut for this
event.
There is a nominal entrance fee to the public and the Society generally
needs as many of its members as possible to help out on the day.
Please
contact the Society
for more information.
