Just received the results. Thanks to Ian for suggesting I enter as Greenways Zoe got a certificate of exhibition merit.
Here's the full list of winners

The overall winner received the Harry Howarth Memorial Medal plus a Gold Award. This was Askwith Josephine, a white medium decorative from Ernie Cawkwell. A further Gold Award was made to Sheval Megan, a red small decorative raised by Terry Bratcher.

Two Silver Awards were also given. The first to a dark red miniature decorative from Barry Davies, named Barbarry d’Amour. The second Silver Award went to Clayt’s Candy from Clayton Beale.

Three Bronze Awards were made. Fred Wilson from Leek Wootton near Kenilworth produced a yellow large semi cactus called Cryfield Edna. The second award went to Askwith Edna, a medium decorative from Ernie Cawkwell. The blooms were eye-catching in blends of yellow and red. The third award went to Highwarden Cliff. This medium semi cactus in straw and orange blends from the late C Rushton of New Zealand.

Two varieties were awarded Certificate of Exhibition Merit. Graham Johnson from Shrewsbury has a yellow sport of Ryecroft Zoe that he has named as Greenway’s Zoe. Les Stothard of Blyton,Lincs has produced a white small decorative called grew Blyton Everest. This is the second with this name, replacing his previous offering

Well done Scrumpy, that's a great award to have achieved, bet you're really chuffed!!

And congratulation's to all the raisers who won awards, and to those that didn't. Look forward to seeing them on the bench next year.
