PRESIDENT’S LETTER
Dear Members, Exhibitors and Friends
Welcome to the programme for the 104th Annual Show of the Cupar & District Floral & Horticultural Society.
This year we have made a bold decision to reduce the duration of the show to one day, due to the extreme high
costs imposed on the Society to hire the hall for our normal Sunday session. So this year, the Cupar Flower Show
will be held on Saturday 22nd August 2015.
The Show will host the annual flower show alongside a coffee morning from 10am. There will also be a display from
the Bonsai Society in the Upper Hall.
Flowers, fruit and vegetables are the heart of the show, but we also have classes for home baking, wine, floral art
and photography. We also have a number of classes for the children, including a pre-nursery class.
We hope that our seasoned exhibitors will be able to put on a magnificent display. If you are new to the Show,
please do join us and submit your entries. Our friendly, local show is for amateurs, so please encourage
neighbours, family and friends to have a go!
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, thanks go to all advertisers, traders and sponsors who have
given generous donations supporting the show in times of economic downturn - these funds 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.
Les Wheelans
President
