Flower Show and Tea: part 3 – winding up

This post concludes the pictorial review of Chester Garden Club’s annual Flower Show and Tea (see parts 1 and 2 in previous posts).  As the afternoon progressed, committee members rotated through a variety of tasks:  selling tickets, making up sandwich plates, pouring tea and serving guests. Those not on active duty found themselves moving about the exhibit floor, admiring the displays and greeting friends and acquaintances. By four o’clock, when Cynthia took to the podium to announce the winning entries, even some of the committee were seated for tea.  The following images are a random sample of the colourful displays as well as the participants and visitors, all of whom enjoyed a very pleasant afternoon.

Congratulations to all the club members who worked to make the afternoon such a success. And a special thanks to Graham and Cynthia for providing a slew of photos of the event. The hardest part of preparing this blog was the selection of representative images that offered a hint of the delightful atmosphere without overwhelming our viewers.
