RESULTS AND PICS EXPECTED

THE 61st Ilkley Flower SHow once again proved to be a memorable occasion, in spite of fewer entries and entrants.

Many people attended the show, at the Clarke Foley Centre, Cunliffe Road, Ilkley, on August 23, and enjoyed the flower arranging, flowers, vegetables, homecrafts and photography.

One special entry was from the Sayer family. Tony Sayer died earlier in the month, but in his memory, produce was entered and won several prizes.
