Aberdeen C&D Society - 18th September 2004

The Aberdeen Championship for Large blooms requires three vases of five blooms in three cultivars. Two entries this year from Fraserburgh growers Tom Buchan and Dennis Morrice. Dennis was awarded the red card for his entry of Clapham Delight, Malcolm Perkins and Billy Bell withTom's entry of  Emily Peace, Pearl Celebration and White sport in second place. 

Huntley grower Bill Angus brought just one vase to the show - he must have had a good felling about this because his excellent vase of Lynn Johnson was judged best vase in show and was awarded the NCS Silver Medal. 

The Aberdeen Champion of Mediums class requires three vases of five blooms in 3 cultivars. Just two entries this year  and a repeat of last year's result. In first place  Dave Macfarlane, (Fraserburgh),  with vases of Woolley Globe, John Wingfield and Pink John Wingfield.  In second place was Paul Barlow (Aberdeen) with John Wingfield and the pink and candy sports
