Competitors keep up Dersingham show reputation
WHERE some societies are having to cancel annual shows owing to lack of support, Dersingham Horticultural Society's annual show has managed to maintain a constant level of entries and this year is no exception.
This is due in the main to the enthusiasm and cajoling of the show secretaries Derek and Doreen Asker. This year 145 competitors entered more than 360 exhibits.
