Dear Members, Exhibitors and Friends Let’s celebrate - Cupar Flower Show is 100 years old in 2011!

The Cupar & District Floral and Horticultural Society is marking its centenary year in 2011 with an exceptional annual Flower & Craft Show to be held on 27th & 28th August, in the Corn Exchange, St Catherine Street, Cupar.

The two day spectacular will host the annual flower show, a coffee morning, demonstration/talks and a craft and trade fair.

Jim McColl, from the BBC’s Beechgrove Garden will open the Show on Saturday at 11am, and will then be a panelist for Gardener’s Question Time from 2.30pm. If you have any gardening questions please feel free to come and ask. If you have any plants, weeds or others that you wish to be identified, then these should be handed in to the Secretary prior to 1.30pm on Saturday; items MUST be placed in a sealed polythene bag to help prevent the spread of disease to exhibits within the show. We also have a number of other guests appearing throughout the weekend.

Flowers, fruit and vegetables remain at the heart of the show weekend but fun activities suitable to all ages and interests have been added to ensure that the whole family can enjoy a great 2 days out.

Your interest and enthusiasm, and not forgetting your exhibits, guarantee us a successful annual Flower Show, so please keep growing and exhibiting. We would appreciate it if you would encourage neighbours, family and friends to join in – there is something for everyone, even our younger exhibitors! Whether a visitor or an exhibitor to this year’s Show, you are assured of a warm welcome.

The Show and other events can be found on our website. Please visit it: www.cuparflowershow.co.uk.

On behalf of the Cupar & District Horticultural Society, we would like to thank all advertisers and generous sponsors who have made donations to the show, which help to cover the cost of running the show and create the prize fund. To new supporters, we hope you will continue your support for years to come and find this Show an effective way to promote your business. And most importantly we would like to thank you for supporting one of Cupar’s longest running events; here’s to the success of the Cupar Flower Show for the next 100 years!
