By Angela Hicks and Dianne Elliott, joint show secretaries

Our first, and hopefully our last, Virtual Flower Show was a huge success, with over 140 exhibits and 270 views.

Congratulations and thank you to all our exhibitors, who included residents of Walstead Place, children (with the youngest being 8-month-old twins) and young families. The standard of craftsmanship, especially in the handicraft and decorated cake section, was extremely high but the photographs sadly don’t do them justice. It’s still possible to view the result show by going to YouTube or clicking here. For those you don’t have access to a computer, here are the overall results – it was very close with just two points between the overall show winner (first place) and third place. Well done to you all!

1st Sue Minter with 9 points

2nd Emily Ludgate with 8 points

3rd Nick Hawes with 7 points

Grab a June copy of Lindfield Life to see more of the lovely entries.

Scaynes Hill Flower Show is going high tech, no thanks to the secretaries but to a mother and son team who are very enthusiastic and have kindly set it all up so readers can still enjoy each other’s skills and talents, albeit a little low key. So many thanks to Debbie and Thomas.

There are only THREE RULES:

1) only one entry per Class
2) produce is home grown this year
3) the children’s entries are all their own work.
There are no size restrictions.

HOW TO ENTER
Simply take a photograph of your exhibit - each entry should be sent in a separate email to scayneshillflowershow@gmail.com with your name, the class number (and age if under 13 years) in the ‘Subject’ box, before 2pm on Saturday 27th March.

A receipt email will be sent for each entry confirming the date of the Live Flower Show Display, YouTube link and details of how to vote.

GOOD NEWS
For parents whose children are home-schooling there are some fun classes for the under 13 year olds and the under 5s AND why not get the whole family involved in building a scarecrow in the FAMILY ENTRY. Please use old clothes as the winning scarecrow will have pride of place at Scaynes Hill Cricket Club scaring the wildlife away.

HOW TO ACCESS THE LIVE SHOW
Go onto YouTube (www.youtube.com) then search for ‘Scaynes Hill Spring Flower Show’ or use the following direct link: Scaynes Hill Spring Flower Show

HOW TO VOTE
The fun part of this Show is that you will be the judges. You can choose your favourite in each Class and submit your choice via email to scayneshillflowershow@gmail.com as follows:
e.g. Class 1 = Photo 4, Class 2 = Photo 7 and so on.

Sorry no multiple votes. These should be submitted by no later than 2 pm on Wednesday 7th April.

THE VIRTUAL FLOWER SHOW RESULTS
Will go live at 2 pm on Saturday 10th April. The winners will be marked in each category on the same YouTube link as above.

We hope you will enjoy our virtual flower show and all readers of Lindfield Life are welcome to enter.

We look forward to seeing all your entries. You can enter with immediate effect so start taking your photographs. Keep safe and take care.
