Rain and sun, perfect combination for a fine Rustington show
Although the entries didn’t quite match 2013’s record total, the Woodlands Centre witnessed another excellent show, with a steady stream of visitors.
Rose and sweet pea classes were well supported, with high quality blooms from exhibitors, and there was a wonderful selection of fruit and vegetables.
