Eric Cox of Cattistock proudly holds his cup
CONGRATULATIONS to Eric Cox for winning the cup for his entries at the Cattistock Cottage Garden and Flower Show .
After many years without a flower show in the village, the event was well supported.
Afterwards many of the exhibits were auctioned and the proceeds were donated to the Dorchester Hospital Charity.
Thanks to Edwin, Liz and Scott for organising a very successful show, and for all their hard work behind the scenes – and, of course, to Simon for carrying out his role as auctioneer so well.
