14th
Radley Gardens Competition, 03 July 2010
| The
Parish Council's 14th annual Garden Competition
was held on Saturday, 3rd July. The Council is most grateful
to the 12 judges, who freely gave their time and came
from Abingdon and Kennington. Most had judged for us before.
Also to the Guides who shepherded the judges round the
village. The Council is also grateful for sponsorship
from Robert Mattocks Roses of Lodge Hill for plants for
the winners, and to the following givers of donations:
Ezra Attia, Berinsfield Community Services, The Bowyer
Arms, Copycat Services, J Curtis & Sons Ltd, Peter
L Mansbridge and Son, Peachcroft Farm, Ringrose Tree Services
and RWE npower. Additional thanks go to Jenny Standen
and Marion Natham for co-ordinating the provision of an
excellent lunch and tea for the judges and guides. |

Let's
keep Radley beautiful.

| |
| The judging criteria remained
as they were last year. Even so, the judges decided to
award a higher number of 'Commended' awards in some categories
than in previous years. We would like to think that this
reflects an improvement in the overall standard of gardens
in the village, which, after all, is what the competition
is all about. |
