Gale-force winds and rain were not enough to stop exhibitors displaying an impressive array of daffodils and other blooms at the annual Grade Ruan Spring Flower Show at Ruan Minor village hall on Saturday. No less than 77 vases of daffodils were included in the 556 exhibits submitted by a total of 257 exhibitors. The organising committee was particularly heartened by the increase in the number of entries from teenagers. The show was opened by local resident Cynthia Pickering, who, before handing out the prizes, hailed the event as a means of bringing people together in a true spirit of co-operation within the parish. Mrs Pickering was welcomed by acting chairman Charlie Coates, who thanked the competitors, judges, stewards and everyone else who had helped in any way to make the show such a success. Refreshments were served throughout the afternoon, which also included a raffle with a wide range of prizes.
