The seventh annual Hermon Horticultural Show show again proved a huge success with the judges well impressed with the high quality of the entries. It was wonderful to see so many entries by the school children.

The trophies were presented by this year's president Mrs Mauren George, a native of Hermon but now living in Maenclochog.

The committee wishes to thank Mrs George for her generous donation to the show funds and also to all the sponsors, helpers and competitors in making this year's show a memorable one. Thanks also to Mr Gareth Griffiths for organising the vintage section and it was nice to see so many local tractors on display.
