We held a very successful Produce Show on Tuesday 28th August, especially when the summer weather is taken into consideration. There were some superb vegetable exhibits (Dai Jones' onions spring to mind!) and the displays of garden flowers were wonderful. Beth Cook's fantastic chocolate birthday cake, in the form of a blooming garden, was a particular talking point, well done on winning a first prize, Beth, in your first Rhydlewis G C Produce Show.
The winner of the cups are as follows;
Vegetable Cup - Janette Sharman
Rose Shield - Pam Evans
J.T. Davies Shield - Dia Jones
Floral Cup - Pam Evans
Best Exhibit in Show - Eluned Jones
D&G William Shield for Homecraft - Pam Evans
A huge congratulations to all the winners, and a massive thanks to everyone who exhibited their fruit, flowers and homecraft items...now you can all start planning your bulbs for the Spring Show

On Tuesday 31st July, we held our annual summer party. This year it was at Bryn Collen, Jenny’s house. Jenny and her late husband Jim has maintained this extraordinary garden, with plants from all over the globe, for many years, and we were all praying for a sunny evening so that we could enjoy strolling around. The rain held off for an hour or two and, apart from a couple of muddy areas at the bottom of the valley, everyone managed to stroll most of the garden and enjoy the displays, which, despite the bad weather this year looked good. 
Bryn Collen is a great house for a party, plenty of room and lots of things to start a conversation. There was an excellent turnout for the party, with three new members arriving that evening; Vicky from Brongest, and Liz and Gary, who are newcomers into Rhydlewis.
Everyone had helped supplied the potluck supper and supplement the joint of cold beef and side of cold ham that club funds had contributed. The puddings were particularly exquisite, with bannofi pies, pavlova and trifle to tempt.
